Telnet lost character.

I have written a script to evaluate a 22 byte record which is received from a PBX. This works fine when connected in data mode, but in telnet the third byte is lost. The first two bytes (or header) of each record are 'EE FF' hex. I have tried various telnet, terminal and font options to no avail and yes the same problem exists using the monitor window.
 
Does the remainder of the field arrive OK? Have you tried disabling all telnet negotiation in Procomm's Setup dialog (Options | Telnet Options menu item)? Does the data come across if you perform the same tasks manually instead of using your script?
 
hi knob

Of the 22 bytes in each record only byte 3 is missing.

I have tried disabling telnet negotiation (and probably every possible combination of telnet options :) ).

If I use another comms application (KEA) I see all 22 bytes
 
Are you seeing the problem only when running your script, or do you also see it when you perform the same steps manually in Procomm? This would help determine if the problem lies in your script or if it is a more general Procom issue.

 
Just wondering did you ever figure this out as I have the same issue, byte 3 is always
missing. I persume you are connecting to a iSDX PABX.
