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.

Welcome to Microsoft Telnet Service

Thanks, Jon

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
