Hello Pluggers,
I have a client that uses a legacy application to communicate via the telnet protocol to a remote server. The "problem" is, the organization that owns the remote server had it upgraded, and thus the remote server now supports only SSH.
I for one do would avoid touching telnet anymore even with a ten foot pole. However, in case anyone is wondering...this certain legacy application is binded too much with the telnet protocol such that they are looking for a quick fix while exploring the feasibility of porting the application to support SSH.
I'd like to know if there is there some way (like a bridged proxy) wherein the clients application can connnect to the proxy and would in turn connect to the remote server via SSH. Think of a realtime telnet to SSH protocol translation. Any insights/opinions on this would be highly appreciated.:)
BTW, tunneling is not an option for the client since the remote server disabled the telnet daemon.
