no error or debug output, just 'connection closed'

[nr0q]

I'm trying to write a callback script to connect to a telnet server that after the initial login is pretty much a flow of lines of data from the server to the client (not much user interaction). But I'm not getting the connection bit to work yet even. I'm probably overlocking or overthinking something.

My code

var Telnet = require ('telnet-client')
const g_clusterClient = new Telnet()

var g_clusterServer = {
    host: 'marconi.mchambersradio.com',
    port: 7300,
    loginPrompt: '/login[: ]*$/i',
    // shellPrompt: '/dxspider \>$/i',
    failedLoginMatch: '/is an invalid callsign$/i',
    passwordPrompt: '',
    negotiationMandatory: false,
    username: g_appSettings.myDEcall,
    password: '',
    debug: true,
    timeout: 30000
}

g_clusterClient.on('ready', function(prompt) {
    g_clusterClient.send('', function(err, response) {
        console.log(response)
        console.log(err)
    })
})

g_clusterClient.on('data', function() {
    console.log('Date received')
})

g_clusterClient.on('failedlogin', function() {
    console.log('failed login')
})

g_clusterClient.on('timeout', function() {
    console.log('socket timeout!')
})

g_clusterClient.on('close', function() {
    console.log('connection closed')
})

if (g_mapSettings.offlineMode == false) {
    g_clusterClient.connect(g_clusterServer)
    
}

And in the NWJS dev tools console this is all I see, not much that looks helpful or providing me with useful google search hits.

If I've overlooked or overthought something and there's a stackoverflow or google search term that points me in the right direction I won't be offended in the least. Thanks
