Re: Bridging console port to a telnet session

Hi Mike,
Yes, that what I am planing but I want to do this dynamically. Do you know
how to launch a
telnet session from a process?. How do I pass stdin and stdout to the telnet
from a process?.

Thanks
Kailas

What's wrong with simply leaving a telnet session running on the
console, maybe with some support to relaunch it should it ever exit?
