I'm looking for a limited version of TELNET. This program would only allow connections to one host or a list of hosts in a text file. What I don't want is this program to is to domain lookups. We would use this program to publish a LAT service for a Unix box that does not support LAT. Regular TELNET allows a person to enter a command mode and connect to another host (ie, anonymous telnet). But I really don't want to disable the command mode. Thanks for your help.

May I suggest that it looks up the name of the host to connect to in a
table to find if it's acceptable, and then do the domain name lookup
to find the address?
You don't want to reconfigure more than you have to when addresses
change, and you don't want the text table to contain errors.
Morale: Always use the DNS.

Excellent suggestion. Thank you. If/when I have to write this, it will have this function. If no one has seen any software to do this, can someone please e-mail me a site that has the telnet source.
