Chris,
Still working in Director (using a lot of Xtras)
Under Win, i can get Telnet to work (althought with a lot of hoops), but 
that does not work on Mac, and i fear it won't work on Win anymore anytime 
soon.
Besides, from the docs, Telnet is limited compared to shelling / RC
It's the only language i know, and i still like it very much (It's really 
fast for small / one-off projects)
