I can Telnet from my Sidekick by brian @ 16:35:39 - [perma-link] I saw someone on www.dangerinfo.com who had made a Trillian plugin so he can get into IRC over AIM with Trillian bridging the two. But I'm on MacOSX, so that's useless to me. But the perl Net::AIM package isn't useless to me! I hacked up an IRC proxy, and could IRC over AIM from my sidekick. But I don't use IRC, so its not particularly useful. So today I wrote another one. Its a Telnet bot. I tell it "telnet server port" and it makes a connection to the remote server and does line-based proxying via AIM. So now I can Telnet. But there's not much to do with telnet. I could MUD, but I don't. So now I have two swell bots that are totally useless to me.
