Telnet through WinSock using VB 6

[Sean]

Hello, I am trying to telnet to a Unix server by
employing a WinSock. The connection is sucessfully made,
but the telnet sends char 255 and char 253 and the
programs hangs and waits infinitly for a reply. Any
ideas of what may be the cause and how to deal with it?
I've also used this with FTP and SMTP for which it works
fine. Im only having this issue with Telnet.

Thanks,
Sean
