Question

I want to create an extremely simple iPhone program that will open a telnet session on a lan-connected device and send a sequence of keystrokes. Most of the code I’ve seen for sockets is overwhelming and vast overkill for what I want to do:

1. open telnet socket to IP address
2. send ascii keystrokes

Any simple code examples out there I can play with?

Answer 1

I’d suggest you check out the Asyncsocket project:

It makes socket programming really easy; no messing with threads yourself and things happen asynchronously without much fuss.

I think there is a sample project with a client/server to get you started.
