You should be able to do the same thing through the Services (http) 
API.  Also, stop calling it telnet.  It's not telnet, as it does not use 
the same handshaking and character set as telnet.  It does not need a 
telnet library, merely a socket library.  All you need to do to use it 
is open up a socket, and send a text string.  You really don't even have 
to worry about a response.
