Oh! I forgot about secure shell (ssh). Probably the best answer. Search
archive.midrange.com for discussions (have a look in the WIKI too) for ssh;
it's been discussed here many times.

Short of writing my own headless TELNET client, is there a way for a
batch job on one system to access the TELNET port on another system (it
can be as simple as just a sign-on), in order to notify the other
system
of an event?

Or some other simple event notification, calling a program remotely?

I can do this with the FTP port, of course, but the FTP port on the
target system is normally kept closed when not in use. And likewise, I
could do it by opening a socket on a proprietary server, but I'd have
to
write one of those.

The target machine does *not* have "Host Servers" running on it.
