There is something I didn't catch.

The write is nonblocking.  It will return right away and the actual 
transmission will take place as the script continues.  Without the 
change the close could be prematurely stopping transmission.  The close 
might even do more.

Don't close until the write is finished transmitting.  This is usually 
not a problem in equipment dialog because you wait for the response.  
If you transmit without a response, then you might need to put a delay 
in somewhere, maybe even a smart one.
