telnet is actually quite a complex protocol to do properly.  Winsock
will provide the underlying TCP transport mechanism, but you then need
to build protocol handlers on top of it.

$35 paid to www.vandyke.com will get you a copy of CRT, which is a
vbscript capable terminal emulator, which will then allow you to
telnet to a box, logon to said box, and execute commands, and even (if
your scripting is up to it(!)) allow you to act on the result of the
commands.
