Is it possible to create a Telnet client program in VB5?
It is certainly possible, though it might be a big project. There is a bad sample (the only one I’ve seen so far) at http://www.netfokus.dk/vbadmincode/code/telnet.zip From my workstation I need to read the date/time on the NT server to use as the timestamp for database (I’m using .mdb). Timestamp in Access uses local system clock, so the only thing you can do – is synchronize it with server clock. You need to have simple TCP/IP services running on NT server. Connect to port 13 (datetime) using Winsock and it will return you a server date/time. Then you can use API to set your workstation clock to time you received.
