RE: Sockets and Telnet

Actually it is DOS commands to talk to a Cisco Cable Modem provisioning system. Right now I am just trying to get logged in. I was somewhat expecting to get a login screen back in my program that I could issue commands similar to TNAPI, when you look at the log file.



I am trying two different approaches. Modifying TNAPI and modifying a socket program that I have been using to talk to a Unix box for quite some time, that I wrote using examples from your socket tutorial. But, with either option, I don't seem to be getting anything

intelligible back.

I've done stuff like this many times, but not to Microsoft systems. (I
didn't even know Microsoft supported Telnet. Good lord, telnetting into
a Windows box? What do you do? DOS Commands?! And it works?)

Still, I don't really understand what the problem is. What kind of
options are you negotiating?

All,

I am trying to use an RPG program create a script to connect to a MS
telnet server and issue a few simple commands after logging in. It
appears that it's connecting just fine, but I am not sure what to
expect back and it seems that I am just receiving garbage back after
converting it to Ascii.

I started with the TNAPI and modified it. Has anyone else been able
to do this? Thanks in advance.

Jon
