application level http/telnet servers

Do you know if there are any open source telnet server software available that run on our Sitara devices (AM335x or AM35x)?  I am trying to respond to the customer statement below:

 

The USB stack seems good, but LWIP we have looked at in the past and it is only a protocol stack with no applications..meaning we would have to write our own http/telnet servers or port some existing solution to LWIP.  This is not ideal given the amount of software resources we have available.

    Could you state what the OS is? I'm assuming that you are not talkinj about linux since you mention LWIP which I'm also intpreting lightweight IP stack.

    OS not usually needed, but sometimes they have used Freescale MQX proprietary OS for embedded applications.

    I believe their real desire is simply to be able to telnet into the device for updates.  They want turn key code written on top of the base ethernet prototcols for a telnet solution with out having to write them themselves.  I believe these exist based on the link below, but i am looking for some confirmaiton.

    They are a small opperation with limited development budgets, so they can't afford to purchase any Telnet solutions or to develop them in house.

    The link that you referenced is the quick start guide to WinCE about options that can be added to that particular OS.  Unless this customer is running WinCe they will not be able to use this particular solution.

    I have only seen telnet as part of an OS, though that's not to say there is not one out there.  When it's integrated as part of an OS is usually the turn key solution that your customer is looking for.

    Perhaps somebody on the forum has seen a solution like that.
