Winsock Garbled Data

[new2this2002]

When using winsock to connect to a telnet server (port 23), the data i get back (fromt the getdata method) is garbled. Does anyone know how to fix this, i take it that is is a question of formatting the retrieved data but i dont know how to do this formatting.

What do you mean by garbled?

you have to have a protocol from your remote machine sending the data to understand how to parse the data. We used a ";" to split the messages.
