Can you establish two telnet connections in one script (so I can use two APIs)?

[SciTech02]

This may be a stupid or overly obvious question, but here it goes:

Various programs have features I would like to use in my scripts.  These features can be accessed through built in API functions.  These API functions are made possible by establishing a telnet connection to that program. 

Alright, here's my question.  There are two programs that make use of API functions that I wish to use in a script at the same time.  To do this, I have to establish two different telnet connections in the same script.  Is this possible, or can I only establish one telnet connection at a time (or, in other words, only use one of these APIs at a time)?

Thanks in advance.

Need more info... can you give an example of what you mean? But you probably can do it...

Well, the host of this type of telnet connection is 'localhost' (the same computer with the programs I want to connect to).  The address of program A is 9000 and the address of program B is 6060.  What I was asking is if you could establish two of these connections at the same time.  Here's a crude pseudo code of what I want to do:

//establish connections:
telnet(localhost - to - 9000)
telnet(localhost - to - 6060)
//Now you can send (API) commands across both these connections to each program, when specified.

Yes, this should be possible; actually seems obviously simple now...    I would have tried this out first before posting a question, but my robot is packed away temporally, so I can't do anything with it.

If this topic was spam, I apologise (still learning/getting used to/perfecting my programing skills).

you could make a command open new prompt then have telnet after the one on the one prompt and another connection on the other prompt

yeah you can connect both at the same time you will get a socket id for each so set them as different variables and just use those
