title: NodeJS + HTML5 + Telnet = isitpossible?
body: <p>I have this project for my classes i'm currently workin' on. here it is:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>WebPage client for Telnet not on standard ports, with ability to choose a port and connect</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>I have machines with telnet servers on them, just waiting for connection.</p>
  
  <p>So my idea was to set up a nodeJS with express server on a dedicated machine. This would handle connections through telnet and host a page for clients, that would use socket.io to exchange information with server side.</p>
  
  <p>But as i'm new to such technologies (telecommunications student) i wonder if it is possible. I spotted something like this - jsterm.com by Peter Nitsch, but i see there are some massive gaps in code and the demo does not really work so i don't know if it actually works. Did anyone try this?</p>
  
  <p>My other problem is - when i send information to nodeJS server through websockets, which seems achievable for me, what do i do with this information? Do i just set up another websocket to pass the same data i got from client websocket directly to the telnet port?</p>
  
  <p>Can sockets connect directly to specific port, without any websocket waiting on the other side?</p>
  
  <p>If my idea is wrong, could anyone help me - maybe there exists some nice solution - i was thinking about Anyterm for example but i see that it requires an apache server and runs completely different technologies...</p>
