It doesn't have to be any more complex than reading bytes
from a socket, and writing others back to the socket. It
has little to do with telnet itself. I would suggest downloading
some mud code, circle, diku, or whatever and start looking
at the select, bind, socket, gethostbyname, and related system
calls.
Also, you'll probably want to buy a good book on socket
and client/server programming..
<PLUG>
PS. Feel free to download the code for my from-scratch MUD
and poke around with it. I could probably answer any questions
you might have about it. But, beware...it's beta with bugs
and I put new releases up w/out testing them very well :)
See my web page for more information...
