Input Telnet command

[ajtsystems]

Hi,

I am a noob to Powershell but have some experience in VBScript. I need to know if its possible to telnet into a port (any) and then login. So far I have managed to create a telnet session unsing a cmd shell, but would like to steer away from CMD if possible. are there any other objects in PS that can do this. My code so far...:

$tel = $textbox1.text;
$f = New-Object -com wscript.shell
$f.run("Telnet.exe $tel")

Take a look at this example for doing a telnet SMTP test with PowerShell.

I hope that helps.
