I would like to use delegate as a wrapper to telnet, to add keep-alive
to a telnet connection  over a firewall, this telnet session times-out due
to a firewall timer .
    Is it possible to use delegate to add a tunnel with keep-alive ,
on the client
side .

    I am thinking on sonthing like this :
delegate running outside the firewall ( client side) as inetd
when a telnet  a connection came to local  port 8023 , delegate
opens a tcp connection to remote host port 23
but adding keepalive to the coonection.
    Thing is I haven't found a telnet (client) replacement with keep-alive.

Best Regards

Pablo
