Looking for a Telnet client

[Pierre Cottin]

I'm looking for a FREE telnet client to use in Labview. If you know one,
please let me know.

There's a telnet client built in to Windows. You can access it by sending to the command line with the system exec.

Can you please explain more on how to do it. You have to call telnet.exe and
pass your input and process the output coming back from the telnet server. I
know I can pass a file as input to command line programs but how do you do
it programmtically where you have a handle to the processs and read/write to
it like a file, not a fixed set of commands to send from a file.

Been looking for such a functionality for a long time. Tcl can do it in a
snap, if lV can do same, I will be happy.

It sounds like you want to setup named pipes for two processes to
communicate over. They are there on some OSes and not on others. If
you don't find them in the palettes, search devzone or ni.com.
