You can save yourself a bounch of troubles by using:

telnet localhost 5038

and type that. You'll be able to see whatever is returned.

Or, alternatively, create a text file, and:

cat text_file | nc localhost 5038

Or pipe in the output of a simple shell script

Or maybe even:

cat text_file > /dev/tcp/localhost/5038

(this fake device is "generated" by bash. Debian turns this feature off
in the package bash)

And as a rule of thumb: no need to do in C whatever you could easily do
in the shell.

You can also file unix2dos handy .
