No there isn't (at least, not directly). Telnet is an internet protocol. When you ask it to connect it'll do a gethostbyname() and try to connect to port 23 on the machine you asked for. Using the IP stack. Now, if you have your network set up with a network dialer &c to run connections over SLIP or PPP, then the connect() will result in a call to the remote machine (This is how dial-up internet connections work). Alas, that won't get you too far unless the remote box is expecting a SLIP or PPP connection on that modem port - all it's likely to have running on that port is a getty(or its analogue) unless you've configured pppd and all that stuff. $ apropos PPP jd -- John Daragon argv[0] limited john@xxxxxxxxxx Lambs Lawn Cottage, Staple Fitzpaine, Taunton TA3 5SL, UK (house) 01460 234537 (office) 01460 234068 (mobile) 07836 576127 (fax) 01460 234069 -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG Mail majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxx with "unsubscribe list" in the message body to unsubscribe.
