how to use ASP .NET to obtain information from 3rd Party Software?

[James]

Hi,

I'm trying to obtain information from a 3rd party software, using ASP .NET.
The software only comes with a Java API that I can use or a telnet
interface. Through telnet, I had to parse the data collected to obtain the
information that is need.

1. How can I program my ASP .NET page to retrieve information using the
available methods mention above?

2. I have also created a program using C# that is able to parse the telnet
interface. I planned to let this program run in the background such that
information from the 3rd party software can be parsed and stored in this
program. Can I retrieve data from the program that I have created from a ASP
..NET page?

Hope that someone will be able to help asap as I need to solve this
urgently!!!
Thanks in advance!

Regards,
James
