Have you tried telnetlib?

>>> import telnetlib
>>> conn = telnetlib.Telnet()
>>> conn.open( "harmony.cs.rit.edu" )
>>> print conn.read_until( "login:" , 10 )

I tried with the ip address you gave,  it worked for plain telnet (ie, the 'telnet' program that is part of windows or cygwin (I don't know which is first in path)).  When I tried using python, sometimes I got various other messages at different times:

Failed to detect protocol...


Telnet connection detected.

Only one connection is allowed for a single IP address.


HTH,

| Any thoughts?
