How to read response from a server in a telnet session?

I need to find out how to read a response from a server in a telnet session? I have the code that seems to work but I am not getting the results I expected and if I had the server feedback it would help me debug the code. I am not quite sure how to do that. Can anyone point me in the correct direction? Script is below.
The commands do work in a regular telnet session on a computer I just need to get it working here. Thanks so much.

bool SendEmails(int task) {


  Serial.print(F("OK\r\nConnecting to server..."));

  client = cc3000.connectTCP(ip, 2525);

  delay(500);
  Serial.print("connected");
   
  // sending telnet ELOW
  Serial.println("Sending ELOW: ");
  client.fastrprintln (F("EHLO"));
 // Need a response from server here
  delay(500);

  //Telnet login authorization command
  Serial.println("Sending auth login: ");
  client.fastrprintln (F("AUTH LOGIN")); 
 // Need a response from server here

  delay(500);
  // Base64 Username
  Serial.println("Sending BASE64() login: ");
  client.fastrprintln (F("cm9vbRvvb24uY29t")); // replace with base64() hash for STMP2GO
  // Need a response from server here
  delay(500);

  Serial.println("Sending BASE64() Password: ");
  client.fastrprintln (F("MjMgQTRsZ3g="));  // replace with base64() hash for STMP2GO  delay(500);
 // Need a response from server here
delay(500);

  // Mail sent from
  Serial.println("Mail from: ");
  client.fastrprintln (F("mail from: Northport Holding Tank <me@me.com>"));
   // Need a response from server here

  delay(500);
  //Mail being sent to
  Serial.println("Mail to: "); 
  client.fastrprintln (F("rcpt to: Daniel Rahenkamp <you@me.com> "));
  // print server response
  
    delay(500);
  // Check Ram
  Serial.print("freeram1:");
  Serial.println(freeRam ());
 // Need a response from server here

delay(500);
  //Send Email Body
  client.println("DATA");
  client.fastrprintln (F("To: Recipient Name From: Sender Name Subject: Test message This is a test message to verify SMTP2GO relay using telnet."));
 
 // print server response
  delay(500);

  // Check Ram
  Serial.print("freeram2:");
  Serial.println(freeRam ());
  // print server response
 
  delay(500);

  //end of message
  client.fastrprintln (F("."));
  // print server response
 // Need a response from server here
  delay(500);

  //quit SMTP server
  Serial.println("QUIT: "); 
  client.fastrprintln (F("QUIT"));
  // print server response

  delay(500);
 // sent = true;

  Serial.println("Send Email Done:");
  //return sent;

You need to create a server listening on port 23. Print your command, then read characters from the server into a buffer until you get and end-of-line (\n'). You can parse the input buffer and print the next command, repeating until you're done. There is example code for a simple Telnet client that might give you an idea how to do this. It takes input from the console and spits it out the Telnet port, but the general structure is the same, you just need to take input from the server instance you've created instead. There is an Adafruit tutorial that demonstrates how to use their CC3000 WiFi module to create a server that you can telnet to and check the status of a candy bowl: Overview | WiFi Candy Bowl Monitor | Adafruit Learning System
