Ouch!<br>
<br>
Always a horrible question this.<br>
<br>
Two approaches occur to me initially:<br>
<br>
1) Use the winsock control - comes with VB - to connect to the same port as telnet does (23) and generate the telnet responses using your VB program. This is probably workable as long as your're only passing a few characters at a time to the remote machine. Any more than that and it starts to get hard work dealing with the timing issues. Worth a go though.<br>
<br>
2) Use VIM - the Lotus equivalent to MAPI and SMTP. I have heard that this works but it "would not be my first choice".<br>
<br>
Let us know how you get on.<br>
