RE: Sockets and Telnet

Ok, I have read all of the RFC's and I am feeling pretty smart about now. But, I have a question for anyone smarter than me. After I get my login prompt, I am sending my user name followed by a x'25(I am converting to ascii before I write to the socket), and all I receive back, is exactly what I sent it (after I convert it back to ebcidic). I have sent and IAC DON'T ECHO to no avail. Any ideas? Please, if you don't know the answer, don't respond.



Thanks, Jon

hi Jon,

You didn't find the answer to these questions in RFC 854 & RFC 855?

I can go back and read these RFCs and look for an answer (it been years
since I've written a telnet client, please don't expect me to have it
memorized) but it seems to me that you should be able to find it the
same way...

I thought I was on the right path with this, but am still stuck.
Based upon these IAC's, can anyone tell me what I need to send back
to just get to a login prompt? No matter what I am sending, I never
receive anything back, it just hangs.

Do I need to respond one at a time, or can I respond to all with one
write to the socket?

I can find very little on this via google. I would think more folks
would have a need to do this. I can think of lots of uses.
