terminal maybe?

[JamesH^^]

I have been allowed access to a friends wingate, which he uses for his mail server. I said cool thanks, and I yesterday tried to use it.

I got the login prompt, and I typed in my username and pass via telnet, and started using it.

Now I wanted to make a prog in vb to do it, easy I thought. Heres a snippet of the code

Private Sub Command1_Click()
With Winsock1
       .RemotePort = port.Text
       .RemoteHost = address.Text
       .Connect
   End With
   status.Caption = "Connecting...."
End Sub
 
Private Sub disconnect_Click()
    Winsock1.Close
    status.Caption = "Not Connected"
End Sub
 
Private Sub sendstr_Click()
    Winsock1.SendData inputstr.Text & vbLf
    List1.AddItem inputstr.Text
    inputstr.Text = ""
End Sub
 
Private Sub Winsock1_Connect()
    Winsock1.SendData send1.Text & vbLf
    Winsock1.SendData send2.Text & vbLf
    status.Caption = "Connected!"
End Sub

Now then, I connected all right, but my login prmpt, instead of coming out as:

<address>
login :

It came out more like

yy|yy#yy

but the y's all had funny accents on them. I don't know why this is.

Theres a terminal option in telnet, that something to do with it?

Thanks
