VB is a windows based compiler, and there is now way u can run shell commands directly from VB! U can try embedding any windows-based shell-executing program like telnet.exe(which is inbuilt with windows) or putty(http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html) and then u can run the shell scripts/commands from there! Hope that helps!
