	Unbelieveable!!!!  There was a space, I got rid of it and it worked!!!

        Wow!  Oh this is great!!  THis is the 'right' way to be doing it anyhow!Plus all those telnet sessions, plus a wrapper script (which I was hiding from you all, since the telnet client ran as root needed a wrapper script to give it restircted shell and no path (otheriwse malicious users could get root shell!)
PLus I had actually modified the source so that if you told it to send a break it would send the escape sequence for the telnet client plus the phrase "send brk\n"  
 
	Oh that's so nice!!  Can't believe I did all that because of a syntax error!!

The output I get with the space is:
