Thanks for the replies!
Distro is RHEL 5 and program is the telnet client that comes by default. The reason we use telnet is that we use a common function to log into a device for a lot of different device types, and not all of those support SSH.
I guess I'll google for a while about how to avoid writing those ansi control codes but if you guys have any suggestions I'd appreciate em.
Thanks!
