I resolved converting the output from the TELNET log into my database now I want to be able to capture the data stream live and update the database as each call is logged. Was hoping for some sample delphi code showing how to open and read from a port using TELNET or any other method....... if anyone has any ideas. PLEASE. Using Telnet from the DOS prompt I have do type this TELNET -f c:\calldata.txt 192.168.1.2 4001 Then I have to type SET LOGGING to direct the data stream to the calldata.txt file. Here's hoping......
