You can write a sockets program that uses port 23 to communicate. Does the
CS1500 provide a web service? You could use HTTPAPI in that case, and it
would be easier I think.

I'm hoping to automate what is currently done through a PC
Telnet-to-CS1500 interactive session. (CS 1500 is a telecom switch).
My plan is to have an RPG program that sends text-string instructions
from the i to the CS 1500 via VPN tunnel. My program will monitor for
and act on any response from the CS 1500 (no human interaction involved
-- as in, "Look, Ma! No hands!).
My challenge is that I am not at all familiar with the technologies for
communicating from the i to/from another (in this case, non-IBM) device.
Is TELNET appropriate here, or does that require an interactive 5250
session?
The i is at 6.1
Any advice is welcome. Many thanks!
