I think .Net has a Telnet client built in, I haven't used it so can't give direct advice or examples, but take a look at this earlier question and perhaps it will give you some clues to research further.<br />

I'm sure you can also find third part libraries / packages that you could build off of, but these will likely cost a bit of money. &nbsp;For example:<br />

Thanks but, unless I am missing something, these reference vb.Net rather than vb6. &nbsp;Am I wrong?

Is there a way to connect one device with another via TelNet in vb6 code? &nbsp;I need to connect my laptop with a race timing machine so that I can pull data from the timing machine as it comes and and process it for near-real time race results. &nbsp;I am working with PuTTY now but hoping to &quot;remove the middle man&quot; and do it within the program.<br />

Thank you in advance!

Include TelNet functionality in vb6 Program

Telnet is an application layer protocol used on the Internet or local area networks to provide a bidirectional interactive text-oriented communication facility using a virtual terminal connection. SSH was designed as a replacement for Telnet and for unsecured remote shell protocols. The term telnet is also used to refer to the software that implements the client part of the protocol. SSH provides a secure channel over an unsecured network in a client-server architecture, connecting an SSH client application with an SSH server.

SSH / Telnet Software

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.

Networking

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
