sockets...

Ok, I'm trying to open a socket connection to port 23 (telnet)... the script just seems to hang on connect... though I can connect and talk with ports 25 (smtp), port 80 (http), port 110 (pop3) and port 443 (https) so the code isn't too bad... Is there something special about the telnet port?
