Search Again: Telnet Solved (finally) From: Shawn Hogan Date: Tuesday, July 21, 1998 Time: 10:47:00 pm Okay... the problem WAS that my telnet program was using string variables to pass data to the server, and ASCII character code zero cannot be passed as a string. Sooooo... Some BSDI boxes negotiate Binary Transmission which is code zero. Anyway, I solved the problem by first poking the data being transmitted to the server to a certain memory location and the trasmitting the data from a binary buffer. Not that anyone really cares all that much, just so long as it works... but I know we have a few technical people on the list that are interested in what I do all day. {grin} Anyway, one good thing that has come from all this research into the telnet protocol is that know I have a pretty good understanding of the telnet protocol itself and I'm going to see about adding an SMTP gateway to the telscrpt.exe file. Which would eliminate the need for Optigold ISP to send email through a MAPI email program. No promises as of yet though... I still have to figure out a good way to pass the email message itself to the external app (telscrpt.exe). - Shawn ------------------------------- Shawn D.
