microsoft telnet

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Hello,
I'm wanting to communicate via telnet to a proprietary system called
"chyron", it acts as a host or telnet server.
Things work perfect when doing this manually via "microsoft telnet"
called via command shell.
Also in interactive mode of some other telnet clients it works.

What I need is some script-like thing. So I tried to establish a telnet
connection via the script interfaces of some of these telnet clients
like "putty". Also I made a macro in Microsoft Excel using VBA and a
ActiveX-Control Socket called "Catalyst SocketWrench".

What happens is that a connection becomes established, but instead of
getting some string "connected" (what you get when you connect via ms
telnet) there are coming three weird characters like "ÿý?"
(Alt+0255, Alt+0253, and something else).

So, something is different - but what? Does anybody know?

I already tried to look at the connection with ethereal, there I can
see that when the connection is established via ms telnet it is some
kind of more direct than when established via the Socket out of VBA,
where it goes some more network ways - but I'm not an expert in these
things...

Can anybody help?

thanks in advance,
christoph
