Hi Jeff,

thanks, I am going to dive into Boost::Asio myself, soon, and will come 
back to your example then :-)

Just wondering (while being aware, that this is not a fully fledged 
telnet client):
I tried to connect to localhost, port 23. There is no service running, 
so I would have expected the program to terminate (it terminates when I 
specify a host which does not exist). I even sent 800MB of XML data into 
the program. It did not complain and wrote it to Nirvana, I guess :-)

Regards,

Roland
