I have the official RFC (and read most of it!!).

The telnet guide could prove to be useful .. thanks.

I have connected before using Telnet and have had a little success doing
that.
I "thought" that it would make it simple to use a Tcp library if Telnet
worked
but ... I can't explain why I can open a connection with telnet and not with
euLibnet
or euTcp4u.

I gave trying to connect to an IRC server a few weeks ago ...
and because of a heavy work load at work and changing interests in my life
don't fiddle with computers at home much anymore.  This might change at
some time in the future though.
