RE: Difficulty Sending Character Stream Over Telnet Connenction -- MIDRANGE-L

Why don't you have a sockets program listening on the AS/400? Then you can
control what you want sent yourself.

You would have to be able to select a different port on the telnet emulation
program, but that's not a big deal.

Connenction

        How about using the standard TN5250 support? Do you have iSeries
Access, 
        which has an emulator? An AS/400 will do all the formtting for you.
Can you 
        say more about why use the simple telnet? There are also a number of
other 
        emulation apps out there, including some Java ones.
