title: Is there any way to have a batch file send information to an open telnet connection?
body: <p>Im trying to make a native IRC client for windows in batch. You can connect to IRC servers over telnet, but you have to type in your user and nick quite fast or the server will drop the connection</p>
  
  <pre><code>SET /P server=[Server Address: ]
  telnet %server% 6667
  
  SET /P user=[Username/nick:]
  echo "USER %user% 8 * : %user%"
  echo "NICK %user%"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The program will connect to the specified server, but I am unable to echo the user and nick commands to the server. </p>
