title: Communicating over telnet
body: <p>I can't use <a href="http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_39_0/doc/html/boost_asio/tutorial.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Boost ASIO</a> (reasons not related to programming) and I <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1687369/simple-telnet-example-in-libcurl-c">looked around</a> and <a href="http://curl.haxx.se/download.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">libcurl</a> looks good. I'm building the binaries at the moment and decided to get some feedback from the community.</p>
  <p>Any comments regarding libcurl/alternatives?</p>
  <h3>UPDATE:</h3>
  <p>libcurl's not great for telnet. It's 2010! Shouldn't there be a simple way to do this? Winsock?</p>
