Re: RPGILE and TELNET

Bruce,

Get ready for some interesting work with the Telnet protocol! Once you
have gotten past the telnet negotiation phase you will be home free, but
that can be interesting/frustrating. I suggest you take a look at the
RFC (853) and a good Telnet reference. Be aware that different platforms
will behave differently on the negotiation phase. That's why a good FSM
implementation will be helpful.

Is Telnet really required? UNIX does sockets stuff well and that's much
easier to deal with....
