    Hello Mike,

  Yes you are connected, had the wrong call in my mind at first, oops.   
I verified you were set as spider, which you were.

    Callsign Type      Started Name       Ave RTT Link
    VA3MW-7 NODE DXSP  2-Mar-2023 2345Z             0.13 
2607:fea8:3d40:5d6:1f9b:8c5c:90b5:4cf7


So connection wise, you look good!

FWIW, the connect script I use for a lot of nodes is as follows:

timeout 15
abort (Busy|Sorry|Fail)
connect telnet xyzzy.net 7300
'login' 'wb3ffv-2'


Your crontab looks fine, unless I have missed something..

73's..
