My idea of connecting telnet to two different ports was based on the idea that if I had folks coming in on a port other than standard, then I would know to call a specific program and do something. This was the best I could come up with prior to hearing from many of you that I could just redirect the output from one port to another using a socket server. I like this latter idea much better and it's sure a lot more straightforward to understand. Thanks all for the feedback! I'll let you know how it works out. Oh...and a dumb terminal that is connected to an as/400 via twinax can use telnet to pass through to another tcp/ip connected system. So the answer to "Do dumb terminals use the telnet server?" is, sometimes. ----- Original Message ----- From: "John Ross" <jross-ml@netshare400.com> To: <midrange-l@midrange.com> Sent: Sunday, September 02, 2001 10:34 PM Subject: Re: Telnet Server > I maybe confused but I thought you wanted to connect to two different ports > and do telnet, and if it was on one of the ports do something special.
