Hey...I'm looking for a Telnet control for VB...preferrably one that's FREE, or at the max about $15. Anyone know of any controls like this?

I ain't exactly got an ActiveX control that does it, but I'm working on my own telnet server that uses the WinSock control. It's really easy to do once you've got the basics figured out...

Download the program & source code. (http://members.xoom.com/mralston/downloads/telnetserver.exe) (Majorly BETA!!!)

I'm not exactly the worlds's mose brilliant programmer...so don't blame me if it's a bit buggy.

Feel free to rip off the code and make it better. (But if yours is better, I would appreciate a copy of it...)

I've been using the Winsock control too, but when I connect to the server that the client is designed for, it sends me a string of 5 hex values (something like FD FF 00 FF FD) that I don't know how to translate...

I do not have the code with me at my current computer, but I do have a slick piece of code that does telnet on my home machine. I'll see if I can get it to you this evening. Email me at ASAP tpatten@nh.freei.net if you want it.

If I remember correctly, the hex you are seeing are some sort of message indicators and are sent from most UNIX/LINUX machines. They precede all communication and tell the client how to act.
