Hi,
How do I launch a telnet session from a process and tell that session to use console port (/dev/console) for stdin and stdout?. Appreciate your help.

I read through fork() and exec() man pages but it is not mentioned there.

Personally I'd use expect around the telnet, and then send the output
to any file desired.

What about "telnet < /dev/console &1> /dev/console"? See: <http:// hemsidor.torget.se/users/d/Devlin/shell/sh7a.html#7.3>.
