Telnet client in C

[Enos Meroka]

Hallo,
Am trying to establish a telnet session with my C program. However, I
seem not to able to get the prompt, after supplying the username and
passowrd. could someone assist me in troubleshoot my code and inform me
where i might be getting it wrong.

I would appreciate if I got ideas of how to achieve this in a simpler
way. Below is my code

Wrong newsgroup. Try comp.unix.programmer

I see you've already posted to comp.unix.programmer

Multi-posting (copying the same message to different groups) is
frowned upon.

Thanks for your reply,
I realized that I had posted my message in the wrong newsgroup. That's
when i posted it on the other newsgroup.
Apologies are in order. Am sorry for the inconvenience caused.

Right. But then again, if you are going to post to an inappropriate
newsgroup, it is better to multi-post there, than to cross-post, since then
the followups (generated from the appropriate newsgroups) don't also end up
there. I.e., most users (of all email and news oriented type software)
are too stupid to trim followups - they just go ahead and "reply all".

#include <sys/time.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>
#include <netinet/in.h>
#include <netdb.h>

None of these (save stdio.h) are valid in a conforming C program.
Thus this is off topic in c.l.c, where we deal with standard
portable C only. Find a group that deals with your system.
