That invisible functionality is completely on the client side. The Unix telnet server does not know if the client is a human at a keyboard or a .net program. It acts the same in both cases. If you don't believe that, put a sniffer between the client and server and examine the TCP packets. I have written shell scripts that interact with telnet servers just fine. Some are available on this site. Install Microsoft Services for Unix and you can probably run one.

I think that we're talking about different things lol.

I'm talking about what Unix does with the input. for example, when linux echoes you username (echoing username's password) I've found out, the 'username' is echoed in variable form. That whole string is concatenated.

Anyway, I don't think that you and I are getting anywhere here Perderabo. Thanks for the help anyway.
