The text is not echoed to the screen.
It is intended only for low-level sending of data for things like telnet negotiation options.
VBscript example
SendPkt Chr(255) & Chr (252) & Chr (31) ' IAC WONT NAWSLua example
SendPkt (string.char (255, 252, 31)) -- IAC WONT NAWSLua notes
The data may include imbedded null characters (0x00) as the Lua string is not tested for being null-terminated.
Return value
eWorldClosed : The world is closed
eOK: Sent OK
