Correct, the very first telnet needs to be in binary mode for file transfers to
 work.  I'm almost certain the one that needs to be edited is the telnet from
the Mystic shuttle menu.  

The characters that display when you telnet from the shuttle do include some of
 those single bits that configure the telnet parameters.  We just need that
"set to binary mode" sequence added.
