VB. NET telnet client

Hi, does anyone knows how to write a simple telnet client aplication in VB .NET Visual Studio 2005 ?

I've looked and downloaded a lot of stuff but still don't find anything that really works.

All I need is to connect from my App. to Unix via telnet and run some commands. To automate some tasks.

Thanks.

You need to learn how to write network programming using Socket .

Use the socket to connect to a host by ip or resolve the ip by DNS search , and to the port 23.

Upon connect you need to parse the user input as a prompt .
It will be better to use the prompt returned by the ip ur connecting to .

Look in the MSDN for a simple socket application.
Hope u will get the idea.

Yes thanks, I know a little bit about telnet stuff.
I've donwloaded a lot of sample code and read MSN documents but still dont find something with the right information.

By now, I succeeded to connect to the server, but i dont know how to negotiate the login process. Also I cant format to ascii the response the server gives me. I try with the function Encoding... but nothing works..
