vb.net controls:
So, my first OOP.
Read configuration files from 200 CISCO routers and build a database of
L-3 & L-2 circuits.
What current method should I be using for a TELNET client? Winsock controls
look to be from the VB 6.0 time. What is current with VB.NET?
Streaming with..?
Now I'm off to read the XML book.
All suggestions will save me years.

Take a look in the DOTNET documentation for a class called
System.Net.Sockets.

You can use this to open a connection to the router using a socket and what
ever protocol you need.

Ray, I did read the Telnet Client info. I was looking for something at a
higher level.
Is the next level up APIs of a comerical product or can I get to the MS
TELNET product? I would like to avoid buffer management and such, but I do
have books here to work at this lower level if necessary.

Yes, you should go to a higher level then. Select a managed code component
that you can use within the .NET Framework like the following:

Internet Communications Components from Dart
www.dart.com

IP*Works!
www.nsoftware.com

NOTE: I have not used either of these (I work at a lower level and didn't
need them yet) and am not affiliated at all with these companies :)

I have HEARD though that the IP*Works! stuff is good.
