MATLNET converts MATLAB into a telnet server on Windows platform. Linux/unix system naturally do this. However, MATLAB do not provide a command-line only interface in Windows (or they simply hide it). This project is to provide this ability to Windows users.Â
It uses message hooks to link window (hidden) interaction with telnet. It is not as good as the connector by MathWorks since it has no support of figures yet. The workaround is that you can save the figure into a file and access those files by other means. Only the simplest telnet protocol is implemented and it works well with the Telnet client that come with windows. This not technically a MATLAB hack as it works with MATLAB instead of working in MATLAB.

Requirement: MATLAB should be 32bit version, windows should be 32bit version as well. If someone would like to continue to develop a 64-bit version, the hook API should be changed.
WARNING: MATLAB is POWERFUL. You can erase your hard drive with it. So Do NOT let others to use your server before a strong authentication method is incorporated (now there is nothing).
