Help setting up PropTCP + telnet?

TheEEinGeek

Hi all,
I'm fairly new to the propeller, although not new to programming in general. I have a Ybox2, and I would really like to get DongleBasic running over telnet on it. My ultimate goal is to use it as a little 'front-end' computer that can give me a command-line like interface to control another computer I built.

Unfortunately, I don't know how to create a telnet-connection, and the proptcp object doesn't seem to come with any kind of documentation. Can anyone that's used it help explain how to initiate a connection with a desktop running PuTTY?

Can you communicate using just the TCP/IP and http settings with out telnet?

Do you have everything running in the same workgroup? "The first 3 stacks of the IP address"??

I can successfully run the "example_httpserver" demo that comes with PropTCP on my Ybox2, so I know the hardware setup can work. I need help with actually establishing the telnet connection, as I just don't really understand what is going on in the example_httpserver demo.

I assume it is some combination of the .start(), .listen(), .isconnected(), etc. functions in the "api_telnet_serial" object, but it's not immediately obvious to me.

*Bump* . . . Anyone??
