What does this have to do with CURLOPT_TIMEOUT or CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT?
Nothing. Please don't hijack somebody else's e-mail thread.

Start by reading the libcurl documentation. There are quite a few
mentions of telnet in there.

Yes, you can do this with libcurl. telnet is a bit of an oddball compared
to the other protocols supported by libcurl as the client must communicate
over stdin/stdout instead of using function callbacks, but it's certainly
doable.

There isn't one included in the libcurl sources. If you come up with one,
I'm sure we'd be happy to includ it in future releases.
