   Check the documentation in your IP package for information on
   establishing an out-bound connection over telnet (a `telnet
   client') or one of the other similar IP transports.  (If this
   is supported .)

   With access to the RFCs, it's certainly possible to directly
   generate telnet requests.  (Whether or not you want to is
   another issue...)

   Depending on the application, you may find DECnet-Plus of
   interest... DECnet-Plus (formerly DECnet-OSI) can operate
   over an IP link.

   Remote printers are often configured over a protocol such as
   LPR/LPD, which can run over IP.  (Though this is a relatively
   `dumb' unidirectional protocol, and not suited for two-way
   communications.)  TELNETSYM, a telnet-based print symbiont
   is also available as part of Digital's TCP/IP Package, UCX.
   Straight `reverse telnet' or a `telnet client' -- which is
   similar to what you show with LAT -- was first included as
   an unsupported extension back in UCX V3.3, and is presently
   supported in UCX V4.1.
