It is more complicated than that. If the telnet program you are using provides a Rexx programmable interface (an API) then you would use that to hook in Rexx exits to perform processing for the I/O. But so far as I know there is not telnet client program that exist that includes Rexx as a programmable interface. So the only other alternative is to write a telnet client in Rexx. This is not an easy task and requires intimate knowledge of terminal types and other difficult topics. It is probably the reason nobody has stepped up to this task. Bottom line - unless you are willing to step up to the plate and write a telnet client in Rexx or add Rexx API interfaces to an existing open source telnet client I believe you are out of luck. But if you are willing to take on this task I would be willing to supply you with what support I can offer.
