For some reason, my previous posts are not showing up on this thread. I tried three times.

That's not what I'm looking for. That only works if I'm have the terminal with the telnet session in front of me. Specifically, I want to use write a script that disconnects an existing telnet session. The telnet sessions do not require user names and passwords; anyone can login by telneting into a host and port number. I do not know from what host the user may be logging from. For example, a user may working be on machine M may log into host H on port P by entering "telnet H P". I may be on machine M2, but I won't know where the other host is logged from, but I do know what host and port the user is logged into because I can't connect to the host-port
I've tried using pexpect to try sending some escape characters into a telnet stream, but I can't even login to the host-port because someone else is already on it.

RXTELNET(1)						    BSD General Commands Manual 					       RXTELNET(1)

NAME
rxtelnet -- start a telnet and forward X-connections. SYNOPSIS
rxtelnet [-l username] [-k] [-t telnet_args] [-x xterm_args] [-K kx_args] [-w term_emulator] [-b telnet_program] [-n] [-v] host [port] DESCRIPTION
The rxtelnet program starts an xterm window with a telnet to host host. From this window you will also be able to run X clients that will be able to connect securely to your X server. If port is given, that port will be used instead of the default. If setting up the X forwarding failes, rxtelnet will still telnet in to the remote host, but without X forwarding. The supported options are: -l Log in on the remote host as user username. -k Disables keep-alives. -t Send telnet_args as arguments to telnet. -x Send xterm_args as arguments to xterm. -X Send kx_args as arguments to kx. -w Use term_emulator instead of xterm. -b Use telnet_program instead of telnet. -n Do not start any terminal emulator. -v Be verbose. EXAMPLE
To login from host foo (where your display is) to host bar, you might do the following. 1. On foo: rxtelnet bar 2. You will get a new window with a telnet to bar. In this window you will be able to start X clients. SEE ALSO
