Whether its JWT, a telnet server parameter, or some other configuration
issue that may not be under your control, an easy solution would be to
write a PCOMM macro that simply simulates pressing the [Enter] key (or
whatever key would be appropriate for your host application). Such a macro
could be written in 10 or so lines of VBScript code. (Basically, a loop
that sends the key to the host and then sleeps for an appropriate amount
of time.)
