WaitForString only works in SSH [1]

the waitforstrign command only seems to work during a SSH connection. when I try in either Serial or Telnet it doesn't work.

Sub Main
xsh.Screen.Send "1" & VbCR
xsh.Screen.WaitForString "command not found
xsh.Screen.Send "MADE IT!"
End Sub

Program Ver. : Xshell 5


The farthest it makes it is xsh.Screen.WaitForString "command not found" and continues to just wait indefinitely.

This is not a common issue when using telnet. There may be other variables that are causing the script not to work.
