You cant run Unix commands under VB6. VB6 runs under Windows and knows nothing of Unix.
However, you can still run an Telenet applcation with VB6. Use the SendKeys function to send commands to the Telnet application once you have Telnet up and running. The commands you can send are determined by the host you wish to log onto.
for example, a lot of Telnet hosts will accept the string "login;username;password" as a single string and log you in with that.
