Node.js Telnet Client

telnet-client is a straightforward Node.js library for establishing and interacting with Telnet servers. As of its current stable version, 2.2.13, it offers modern asynchronous interfaces using native ES6 Promises and async/await syntax, a significant update from version 2.0.0 which transitioned away from Bluebird promises. It also retains support for callback-style interactions. The library focuses on providing core Telnet client functionality, including connection management, command execution, and event handling for 'ready', 'timeout', and 'close' states. Its release cadence appears to be moderate, with updates addressing compatibility and feature improvements. A key differentiator is its simplicity and explicit handling of shell prompts or the option to bypass negotiation, which is crucial for interacting with diverse Telnet server implementations.
