The project file is at http:\\www.geocities.com\SiliconValley\Hub\3944\

There's also a great VB telnet package at

Wow, it did run from the zipped source
This being my first network app of any kind.
I was able to establish cnxn to a telnet servr,
but then could not send any char's in response to the
login prompt, thus was not able to continue a useful
session. (I tried telnet to chessclub.com:5005 via internet
and the standard login --for guests-- is to respond with
char 'g' for guest and then -Enter- as second response. Does this
app need more procedures added actually to be used for telnet?
thanks, /ts

To fix the problem with logins add the following code to the form_keypress.
if keyascii = 13 then winsock1.senddata vbcrlf
this will fix what is missing. email me if you have any problems.

I am fairly new to VB. I cannot find the download file at
http:\\www.geocities.com\SiliconValley\Hub\3944\. Also,
where do I find a MSWINSCK.OCX (ie., the Winsock control
listed in section 3 of your setup outline)?

Any help would greatly be appreciated.

This code is very nicely done and incredibly well written compared to most of the other code I have seen around the place.

I tried the program. All I see is #,$ and no matter what characters I send I get no further data from the server. I am logging on to a unix server. I tried adding the vbcrlf suggestion to the keypress routine.

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /SiliconValley/Hub/3944/ on this server.

Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Hey guys!

I know some of you have been having problems
with my program, but all aims to do is
to show you the basic building blocks of
a simple client. When I wrote the program,
I did so aiming for communication with an
Vax computer. For accessing of different
computers like Unix, etc - then the code
will need to be modified. I'm sorry I can't
help more than that. Take this program
as an intro not a full solution.

If you want a really excellent VB telnet
program download it from:

http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Peaks/1797/telnet.zip

The author of this program has much more
knowledge than me and the code is far
superior than mine. So check it out and
browse their web site.

Cheers

Marcus

Alot of you are having a problem connecting to unix telnet servers. the main problem is that this telnet app does not follow the rcf. I made an active x control to help in creating a telnet client. Check it out on this site. With my code you still need to add some stuff for the terminal emulation you want to do but dont have to worry about the telnet commands as much. Its pretty simple to use. The console is not even close to complete. But maybe someone who knows more about consoles like vt100 could write a good control and then just paste it to the telnet control.

The clear screen VT100 command doesnt work with this client, still nice though.
