While I don't know an answer to your question, I do have a small Java
program that acts as a "telnet proxy" in such a way that it listens to
a given port number, waits for an incoming connection and "relays" it
to a configured host and port (eg localhost:23).

My quick and dirty prototype does assume a telnet request and "injects"
a preconfigured "hello" command such that the client will be thrown into
a predefined session context by simply pressing Return. This is kind of
"poor man's STARTSESS for telnet clients".

If you remove the "hello injection", this little proxy could end up
being nothing more than a "tcp proxy" and might even work with NS/VT.

Let me know, if you'd like a copy for giving it a try. I have used
it on NT as well as MPE/iX so far (both proxying telnet sessions into
an MPE logon), but have not done extensive testing (read: just tried
a few commands in CI, Shell and a VPLUS program).

Lars.
