Telnet Server

[rdnjr]

I currently have a program that has its own client to communicate with it over the network. What would I have to do to rewrite the server to accept and understand connections from a standard telnet client? I have not been able to find much information on the control codes for telnet.

telnet functions at the socket level, and is essentially a raw socket client.

as long as your server accepts tcp connections, listens on a tcp port and accepts a data stream you can use telnet as your client.

test it out. write a tcp time server and use telnet as a client.

I've made a daytime server and I don't have a problem sending data to the client. My current problem is that the client keeps sending "xterm" string like it's waiting for my program to acknowledge the terminal type

I'd like to thank everyone that helped me on this. To anyone that might be interested in this subject, I've found a website that has compiled ALL the telnet rfc's into an understandable document at http://www.scit.wlv.ac.uk/~jphb/comms/telnet.html . Again, thanks for all the help.
