while true
do
  set up FD_SET for select to wait on both fd's
  call select  this will block if nothing is coming or going
  the FD_SET will tell you how to branch  but only branch to 2 when you have a buffer to send.
  either
    1 - read from CISCO until you get a zero return (file closed) or you get a \n character
  or
    2 - write to CISCO until EOF or a \n  (after you got a \n from 3)
         empty your buffer used for -2 and -3
  or
    3-  read a single char from keyboard  - this is called a typeahead buffer
end while
