Hey - no need to hide... Telnet seems to be just the thing :)
You would only have to make a simple SocketServer and off you go...
If you want it secure, however, ssh is probably a more appropriate protocol,
but then making a server is a lot worse... Assuming that the program is
running
on a platform without an ssh server or a shell, and that you would like to
connect
to the program directly via ssh - it would be nice with a Python-based
server...
Preferrably with a simple plugin-interface... Oh, well...
