Has anyone been able to telnet to SIP2 successfully.

It works for me, and I also wrote a couple of Ruby scripts that use telnet to test the SIP2 connection. Here's one of those with the library, username, and password anonymized. #!/usr/bin/env ruby require 'ruby_expect' host = ARGV[0] || 'localhost' $logger = ::Logger.new($stdout) $logger.level = ::Logger::DEBUG # was WARN exp = RubyExpect::Expect.spawn("telnet #{host} 6001", {logger: $logger}) exp.procedure do # Expect each of the following each do expect /Trying .*\.\.\./ do end expect /Connected to #{host}/ do end cmd93 = '9300CNuser|COpassword|CLIB|' expect /Escape character is/ do send cmd93 end # telnet echoes back everything we send, so we have to expect that. expect cmd93 do end cmd23 = '2300120060101 084235AOLIB|AAuser|ACsip_01|ADpassword|' expect /941/ do send cmd23 end # telnet echoes back everything we send, so we have to expect that. expect cmd23 do end expect /24.*USER\|AAR9901\|BLY\|CQY\|AFGreetings from Koha.*\|AOLIB\|/ do send "\r" end expect /Connection closed by foreign host/ do end end end -- According to all the latest reports, there was no truth in any of the earlier reports. --Ashleigh Brilliant
