Well, if you're sure this is what you really want to do, I suggest that you read the telnet RFC (854 I think). You can ofcourse solve this with sockets, but telnet has some tricky stuff going on as well (I know this from writing a telnet client for mIRC - can you imagine the complexity of this? not exactly the best scripting language I'd say). Read the RFC, read the php manual on sockets.. and give it a go! ;> I think its a bit too complex for anyone to describe in details in a forum.

But the proper interface for this is RPC, which most Unix boxen support. Not sure which RFC covers RPC.

The other way is to build a simple php or cgi page on the other box that accepts commands from your box only, with some kind of simple authentication. It's not real secure, but if no one knows about it... :⁾
