Are you sure that you mean "terminal server" and not "telnet server?"
What was the port number you were given?

The server is a Cisco 2600. We call them terminal servers. Each serial port has a port number. To gain access to device on the serial port we telnet to the IP plus the port number. Example (10.31.128.43 2001)

Are you using a trial version of the product, and if not, which licensed version of the product do you have running?

The software is licensed. It was purchased in April of 2005. Probably needs to be updated.

Have you looked at any of the sample apps yet? The Telnet client has code that shows how to connect. Also, the Online Help has descriptions. Here is the code that would do a connect using the info that you gave me:

Telnet1.Connect("10.31.128.43",2001);
