RE: Telnet Server

You're right, this really is pretty simple. If you want an example you could
download the TNAPI (telnet API) utility. It's freeware and includes the
source. It establishes a telnet session with the AS/400 for running
interactive programs in batch.

It can be downloaded from the Telnet/400 web page (www.telnet400.com)
<http://www.telnet400.com)> .

        So...would I need to bind port 23 then, or could I simply write to
it
        without binding it?  Seems to me that I'd get an error if I
attempted to
        bind on port 23 since it's already being used by the Telnet server.
