Stuart, you've mentioned on ant-user that you already had some changes to this submission, could you please repost you new version?
Improvements I would want to see: *) make the port number an attribute (with default 23) *) multiple lines of input (using a nested #PCDATA section and the addText(String) method). *) Make the login/password thing customizable. This task could be used for many protocols sitting on top of telnet, like POP3 - where there wouldn't be any prompt (but you'd have to say USER username and PASS password) - or even protocols without authentication. *) I'm not familiar with the NetComponents classes at all, can we have something like "read a line" instead of a given prompt? This would be useful in contexts like SMTP or NNTP. Well, maybe using expect and JACL would be better here. nothing of which must be done before it gets committed (well, I'd probably patch it to make the port customizable myself). Stefan
