I suspect the problem is the use of telnet(1).  Telnet(1) is not well
suited for non-interactive use.

I'd suggest installing netcat (nc(1)) and using that, if said isp.com
doesn't already have it installed.

One source for netcat is:

  <ftp://coast.cs.purdue.edu/pub/tools/unix/netcat/nc110.tgz>

There are other alternatives.  A Perl script, eg, is trivial if the
libnet modules are installed.

Just don't rely on telnet(1) for anything other than interactive use
to a tty.  At least based on my experience....
