perhaps, check what line-endings your telnet-client is
configured to send.
telnet client line-endings had given me fits in other contexts
(eg Alpha RMC)
besides that, iirc, it was Ctrl-E, followed by 'c' and 'f'
(uppercase E, lowercase c,f). at least for the firmware rev
I had, it was case-sensitive.
