A PS of sorts here.  I dumped that file and it had no 0d as the last char, 
so I called up ded, made it one byte longer and made that byte an $0D.  
Hitting the rest button I got 2 "Send Listen's" instead of one, and the 
telnet session started as soon as I hit the enter key the second time.

It wasn't working, apparently because dw was stuck trying to parse a line 
with no cr on the end of it.  Or at least thats the theory.  One more test, 
telnet to 6810 & see if I get a proc listing back..  Nope, I do get an echo 
of what I type, but there's no shell there to run what I type.

Later, thanks for listening.


Cheers, Gene
