It is possible to code the telnet protocol with the native LabVIEW TCP/IP
vi's - however this requires a fairly good understanding of telnet
protocol. I did a similar task for an FTP server and FTP upload client.
I have not used the Internet Toolkit in a long time but I believe it has
built in vi's for telnet (as well as ftp).
if you want to check out the complexity of writing your own, check out my
FTP server code at the following URL. The advantage to writing your own is
platform portability (important to me since I write code that must run under
Solaris, Linux, Windows, and MacOS.

You might also want to check out Jeffrey Travis's new book "Internet
applications in LabVIEW" it has a lot of info regarding this kind o
f stuff.
