Re: RPGILE and TELNET

[Patrick Townsend <townsend@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

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....
