I can't believe this works. At least it doesn't for me and it
shouldn't. You have to quote the command after -e. Otherwise
xterm tries to interpret foo.org as a parameter, fails, prints
an error message and exits. The proper command line is:
xterm -bg black -fg green -e 'telnet foo.org'

+ osiris Exec /usr/X11R6/bin/xterm -e '/usr/bin/telnet foo.org'
