telnet protocol impl for scsh

I'm trying to port telnetlib from lisp to scheme for scsh. Code is hosted here and yes, its a work-in-progress, I work on it mostly during the weekend only. Anyway, from this exercise I've certainly observed following...

  • Lisp is just so feature rich. Its taking many workarounds to (almost)direct port telnetlib from lisp to scheme.

  • Domain knowledge is important. I always thought it was easy to understand the domain and I could just start with anything and I started this project without knowing much about telnet protocol itself and Now I realise that to do it I *have* to understand the nuances of it.



[Update] Its completed.
