[JDEV] Scripting Jabber - Clear Communication in Scripts ?

[Josiah Ritchie]

Thanks Ralph.  That does seem to have the features I'm looking for.  I'll have
to start playing with it.

Instead of telnet, you want to look at netcat, the "TCP/IP Swiss Army 
Knife".  http://netcat.sourceforge.net/  and almost certainly already 
packaged (usually as "nc") for your favourite linux distribution.

It essentially differs from telnet in that there is no terminal type 
negotiation (good for jabber testing) and that it keeps the connection 
open until you explicitly kill it or a specified timeout.
