A TCP port is not a "port" in the sense that a serial device is a
port. An application may access the transport layer (TCP & UDP) using
the "sockets" API in which the TCP ports of the client and server
machines are specified among other things. There is no way that I
know to do this interactively from a shell.
It sounds like you want to redirect output to a remote machine that
you can telnet to?? If that is the case then I think you are right
that this is a job for expect. I've written expect scripts to do send
info over telnet to another machine to accomplish some useful task and
it is very capable in this regard. Maybe if you were more specific
about what you're trying to do...

Hi All,
This isn't really a Debian question, so please forgive me if I am offending
anyone.
Is there a way to redirect standard out to a tcp port? Piping to telnet doesn't
seem to work. This is probably a job for expect or something. Anyway, anyone
have any ideas?
Thanks!
Dale
