For both of these, I assume it's possible, by my scripting-fu on windows 
is very low, so I'm not even sure where to start. The wintest scripts 
could probably fail with better errors that might provide hints here.

That I don't know, my experience with the telnet command is pretty 
limited, as I rarely have it installed on systems any more.

There still remains the open and concrete issue that the script is 
currently unrunable due to path issues. Any further idea on what the 
acceptable approach is there?
