So you want a program that opens a tcp connection, sends some data,  
receives the response, cleans up, and exits, without the "baggage" of  
a whole web browser or email client, or telnet option negotiation, or  
ANYTHING around it?

That's ... tougher than you'd think it would be.

Try looking for tcpf.c; an old cisco program for spitting data over a  
terminal server to printers, and similar.  I don't see it on our ftp  
server any more, but it's out there on the net, for instance at ftp:// 
ftp.zenez.com/pub/SCO/skunkware/src/sysadmin/tcpf.c

alternately, you can try one of the "small" apps usually part of a  
unix system.
(rwho, finger, maybe even rcp...)
