Replied to the submitter asking for a short script that fails.  I don't run Windows so I may not be able to track
this down.

Never did get any response from the submitter.  This was
apparently originally submitted back in January.  I'm simply going to bounce this back to Tim since he at least runs Windows...

Assigned to Guido, cause it looks like telnetlib.py may be his code, he also has Windows, and-- unlike me --may actually know of a machine he can telnet *to* (I've never used this stuff, & the BeOpen machines don't telnet for me).  The .close() method certainly appears to be closing the underlying socket.

Comment:
Best I can tell, the connection is correctly closed by the close() method.
I telnetted into a Unix machine from a Win98 SE machine (I have no NT here) and checked with netstat that the connection existed. Then I called the close() method. Then netstat showed the connection as closed for about 1 second and then no longer had it.
