If that's not working for you, would it be easier instead to simply
open a socket connection to port 23 on that IP address? Then you'd
just write to the socket (and log what you write) and read from it
(and log that). It's possible you'll see some TELNET or ANSI codes
coming back, but I expect you won't have to send any of them.
