I wouldn't expect that to work. Firstly, with Telnet, the session must be put
into "binary mode" (for both directions). You could possibly use the
console.telnet_cmd() function to do this:
        var telnet = load(new Object, "telnet_lib.js");
        console.telnet_cmd(telnet.DO, 0);
        console.telnet_cmd(telnet.WILL, 0);

0 is the "binary tx" telnet command.

Also, that method will definitely not work with SSH (but it might with RLogin).

Did you try using bbs.batch_add_list() and bbs.batch_download()?
