Hello,
	I have looked into the different ways of using telnet through
a C program.  I have found three ways (short of reimplementing telnet).
The `expect' program or set of libraries looks like the best way, since
it has many uses.  the `pty' program looks formidable to compile, and
the set of routines that I have that actually implement the telnet protocol
expect there to be a telnet.h, which HPUX does not have, and in general,
the routines are expecting more BSD than HPUX can handle.

	I have had no luck compiling expect for my HPUX 900 series 370.
Does anyone have expect for a seriers 300 HPUX?

	Thanks.
	Mike Gourlay,

PS:  more to the point, has anyone gotten an HPUX series 30 to use
telnet or other interactive (direct tty) programs to work through a C program?
