Problem with nxos

[int3rlop3r]

There are some versions of Nexus switches that have a null byte in their prompt - '\x00' and hence doesn't match the prompt re even though the driver was set to nxos.

Is there any release scheduled this week?

I suppose that the same problem will appear for any telnet server, which can use binary telnet transmittion (RFC 856), because the TRANSMIT-BINARY equal 0 (zero).
We see this when we use exscript to connect to telnetlib3.server, for example (python3 -m telnetlib3.server). In this case can see the traceback:
