What sort of "commands" are you sending?

Shell commands to try to interact with the login shell on the other side
will do nothing at best on a plain old socket connection.

If you're using an rfc854 telnet implementation in PHP and something
specific about that is not working, perhaps you could ask a specific
question and include what you're sending, and what (if anything) is
happening when you do.

FYI, rfc 854 is http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc854.html

HTH,
