Telnet

[rscott]

I've tried several places but ran into a major stump.

I've created a basic Winsock connection to port 23 on a Linux box. Even after I strip the escap char's - all I receive is
#'
I tried to send the carriage return upon connection - also, I've downloaded several packages that claim to be telnet but even these produced the same effect. Anyone have a package (source code) that is known to work?

I made a winsock control and coded it to connect to a unix machine and work a Telnet gateway. A mate connects to my PC via telnet, my machine bounces to another UNIX machine to the actual Telnet server.

He connects to me, and I connect to Telnet Server and transfer data respectively.
My winsock acting as a gateway server.

winsock1.connect "telnet.server.com", 23

on the winsock1_connect() event put in..
winsock1.senddata "username" & chr(13)
winsock1.senddata "password" & chr(13)

on winsock_dataarrival() put in...
Winsock1.getdata TempStr, vbString
text1.text = text1.text & TempStr

When doing it that way, I dont get any null or bad characters, works like a dream

The gateway I made does, IRC and Telnet in one session, works just like a real gateway

The host and client dont know the difference.

Mail me if you want some source code.
