I can access the telnet server through PuTTY, which opens the terminal and allows me to send commands to retrieve data / logs and start / stop processes. I would like to start researching how to access this server through C ++ in order to automate the connection and commands for testing. Basically, I need a telnet client that can connect and authenticate itself, as well as write and read to / from the server, as if I were typing a terminal. Where to begin? I tried a couple of examples, including:

When I compile and run
./telnet 192.168.1.26 23
Nothing happens, but when I connect to the server using PuTTY, I get:
QNX Neutrino (localhost) (ttyp0)
