I am making a little server that opens a socket and waits for a connection on port 5253. It is supposed to take a string of input from the client, reverse it, and send it back. Ok thats all easy enough. But my problem comes in with telnet. I open a connection on the IP which is 192.168.3.24 and the port 5253. I type in one letter and that letter is sent. I need to type a whole string and send it. Am I doing something wrong. Thanks

Also I cannot see what I am typing. I know the characters are getting in there but it would help if I could see what I was doing. Thanks

telnet is expecting to be connecting to a telnet server, which probably does a lot more than what your server is doing. So I would guess that you either need to upgrade your server to handle what the telnet client is sending or write your own client that will connect your server.

I am just following a tutorial that I saw on some site. The person that wrote this seems to be able to do it. I looked though all the different options and didn't find anything about it. Though I found out how to make echo enabled. I downloaded two other telnet type programs and they both do the same thing. I was just hoping somebody else ran into this problem or knew how to fix it.
