public class TelnetSession

extends Session

This class encapsulates all functionality for a Telnet session. The Telnet server listens to port 23 for connection requests. When someone attempts to start a Telnet session, they contact port 23. The server spins off a session (an instance of this class) to handle that session. The session allows you to log into the system, then handles the communication between that remote computer and the TINI system. The Telnet server and sessions are designed to be multi-threaded, allowing multiple simultaneous Telnet connections.
