If you want some code for making tcp/ip connections, there are a lot of 
programs that you can examine, for instance ncftp or even iss (i just 
looked through my directories for a few names) or how about fsp?  These 
should all be very easy to find.

I have two versions of the previous program.  The one I originally wrote, 
because I was in a hurry, executes telnet as a child process with i/o 
redirected and acted as a middle man for i/o (this program adjusted 
argv[0] to rename istelf as bsh).  This method doesn't function with some 
(well alot)of unix's.  The second version has the core telnet stuff 
written right into it.  I grabbed the generic bsd telnet stuff from 
someplace that had source online. This second has functioned on just about 
everything (at 
times I have to make small changes though (help screens, the prompt))
