I think you should try changing the $timeout to -1 or a bigger number than 1 ... If your timeout is 1 second you probably are not even seeing the prompt. Specially if the device is busy with some other tasks

Actually, I am trying to force the timeout. I am debugging the timeout case. My problem is that sometimes it does time out. When that occurs, my device is hung. I need to have the telnet session close more gracefully.	[reply]
