Script, telnet options 1

[PhilBreau]

Is there any way a script can connect to a specific ip address/port (other than port 23)?

It depends on how you are connecting to the site. If you are using the dial command with a Connection Directory entry, you can specify the port number in the Connection Directory entry. If you are making a manual telnet connection, you can use:

connectmanual TELNET "telnetsiteort"

with telnet site replaced by the name of the machine you are connecting to and port replaced with the port number you want to access. I think ASPECT also supports a space between the system name and port number (instead of the colon), but I did not try that in my quick and dirty test script.

From my connection directory I have all my TELNET sites under the &quot;telnet&quot; tab and as previously stated the host/ip box contains <hostipaddressortnumber> works great.
