Quoted from the MPE/iX 5.0 General Release Communicator (actually copied and
pasted from the LaserRom):
 
Limitations of TELNET/iX Client
 
The TELNET/iX Client is only supported on MPE/iX General Release 5.0
(C.50.00).  The TELNET/iX Client program may be issued from a regular
MPE/iX session or from within a program.  It may NOT, however, be issued
from a batch job or with the use of input/output redirection.
 
________________________________________________________________________
 
NOTE  The TELNET/iX Client is NOT supported when access to the MPE/iX
      session is from a PC using VT (Virtual Terminal) or from an MPE/V
      system using VT.

However, I hear WRQ may have a patch to get around this for Reflection users?
