Re: Simple BSD Sockets Problem

OK, I may need some explanation on sockets.

As far as I understand the general approach is:
  1. Specify a host
  2. connect to the host using connect()
  3. give a command
  4. and then, accept the responce from the server for this command using the recv function

However, I read upon telnet (wikipedia), but I don't quite understand what it is. And I really don't understand what game_ender said about CR and LF. I'm sorry if my questions sound newbish, but I haven't been involved with communication protocols or any kind of networking with programming and I need some basic questions answered...
