Telnet help.

 [1/7] from: gschwarz:netconnect:au at: 30-Apr-2001 13:37


I am asking for some help on telnet. I am looking at Telnet to get information from an access router. This information is about the phone line connection details, customers are getting and store this in a data base to be accessed at any time so we can see how there last connection was. Any ideas would be helpful to get me started. Just a "Helpdesk" tool but a good one. Regards, Greg

Sounds like you're trying to reinvent the wheel..why not just use SNMP? Or you could check your RADIUS information presuming it is kept. Regards, Deryk -- Binary/unsupported file stripped by Listar -- -- Type: application/x-pkcs7-signature -- File: smime.p7s -- Desc: S/MIME Cryptographic Signature

I am not sure, what you want to do, but if you need a telnet-protocol, I can help.

Hey Greg, I would suggest looking into SNMP too. If you decide to go with telnet, you might be able to just send plain text to it with a crlf at the end. However it might be picky though and require that you talk to it the right way. In that case you might check out a script called "Little Bell." In a nutshell, telnet sends certain commands back and forth escaped with ascii 255's. Should'nt be too tough. --Ryan Greg Schwarz wrote:

Hi Frank That's a very useful help. Unfortunately it does not work with some servers, e.g. Linux. I do not know enough about the telnet protocol to see why it does not give back anything. Has anyone seen the same problem? regards AR --------------------------- Frank Sievertsen wrote: I am not sure, what you want to do, but if you need a telnet-protocol, I can help.

Works with all Linux Computers I've got here. Maybe a bug in the protocol. What URL do you use to connect? Username/Password only works, when the strings "login" and "password" are send. Also note, that you have to repeat [copy port] to get all data send by the server. Tell me a host with which it does not work, please. CU, Frank On Wed, 2 May 2001 [sqlab--gmx--net] wrote:
