problem in TELNETing using java

Hi guys,

i am trying to telnet to an external gsm modem using java, The program is supposed to use the modem for sms messaging and i am having issues doing this.

I tried using the "socket" class in the java.net package and stream packages in the java.io package ,and i've still not been successful at this.

At some point i a getting the initial response after connection, but it's coming out in bytes/binary. i tried all binary to string methods i know and the closest i've come is converting it to something like hashcodes --> "[B@923e30[B@923e30

"

I would like to know how i can do this, as its really given me a headache.

has anyone done this
