Well not to disagree but this works everytime for me
AddToMenu OtherPlat "cosmo" Exec xterm -geometry 80x50 -T COSMO -e telnet cosmo.marymount.edu &
xterm(1)
-e program [ arguments ... ]
This option specifies the program (and its command
line arguments) to be run in the xterm window. It
also sets the window title and icon name to be the
basename of the program being executed if neither -T
nor -n are given on the command line. This must be
the last option on the command line.
the reason it must be last is that the first arg after -e is the
executable and everything else is considered to be arguments for it.
My question would be what version of fvwm arge you using, I know this
works in 2.0.46, 2.2, and 2.3
