telnet on a nameserver on a port ??

[Hetal Rach]

Hi friends,

I had posted a question a couple of days back on my c
program being unable to connect to a remote machine
which is running a nameserver. here is another small
question related to it..

can i do a telnet to a machine on a specific port and
get some data ? 
if so, what do i do for that..

I'm enclosing the mail i had sent earlier.
