I tried to use HalfDuplex module, but I have the same problem. 
sub Terminal
{
    my ($server, $client) = @_;
    my $input;
    my $key;
    
    while (1) 
    {
        #ReadMode(4, $client);
        while (not defined ($key = ReadKey(0, $client))) {};
        #ReadMode(0, $client);
        if ($key eq "q")
        {
            return 1;
        }
        else
        {
            print "Got character '" . ord($key) . "'\r\n";
        }
    };
    
    return 0;
}

my $server = IO::Socket::Telnet::HalfDuplex->new
( 
    Proto => 'tcp', 
    LocalPort => 23, 
    Listen => SOMAXCONN, 
    Reuse => 1
); 

print "Starting server\n";

while (my $client = $server->accept()) 
{ 
    Terminal($server, $client);
    
    close $client;
}

The same problem occur when I don't use localhost. What I'm tring to accomplish is a terminal that will be somewhat like cisco terminal, meaning it will auto complete options when I press <tab> or <?> Thanks, Dayan Shay
