I'm trying to figure out how I can test for open port using telnet. All I want to do is test to see if the port on my Telnet Server is Open or Closed (True or False)
Can somebody help me get started?

Is there a connection between your question and Node-RED?

I've got this figure out, I'm going to take a different approach.
Thanks for the effort.
