Hi Jan. I see your message is fairly old, but I just
faced the same thing today (Win98 and telnet) when
trying to communicate w/an instrument that uses 10bT.
From Win98 I can open up Start|Run|Telnet and open
a connection to my instrument and command and query
it, but trying the obvious (TCP/IP functions: Open then
Write then Read then Close sequentially) didn't get me
very far, and left me w/o a clue as to what I was doing
wrong.
Fortunately, in another message Armando García López

TalkPassive.vi basically seems to sets up and wait for
another to connect to it. TalkActive.vi on the other
hand provides the same functionality as win98's telnet,
allowing me to interact manually (and successfully 🙂
with the instrument.
I'm all in a tizzy with this news and haven't implemented
it in my real program but it's obvious that it's a cinch.
The only necessary non-obvious tidbit is that Telnet
seems to wanna use port 23 (Win's telnet program
offers port names (like "telnet") but not their numbers,
and I don't know where that bit of information is
available--If I hadn't found it around here by accident
it would have taken a while to figure it out!!).
