Since I have a CLI(command line interface), I want to allow the user to configure my box on the Telnet prompt also.(apart from configuring thru serial port using CLI) The plan is to have my CLI prompt, once the user logs in thru telnet.
There is not a "telnet server" per se, as this truly makes little sense
in the eCos context. However, making an eCos program respond to TELNET
protocol requests and do "something" can and does make some sense.
Look at RedBoot - it handles the simple cases of TELNET connections in
support of it's CLI, etc. Odd, that sounds familiar... are we working
at ends here?
