The console (mangconsole.exe) has been recently replaced by some text protocole. The question is... how do I send console commands without the exe?

The server listens on the standard console port with a straightforward text based protocol, like SMTP or NNTP for example. You can connect to it in many different ways, just open a socket connection to the port. Perhaps the most straightforward manual way is with netcat:
Then enter the console password.

I tried to connect using Telnet with "open localhost 18347"... I correctly obtain the connection (I see "Connected" appear in the console), but as soon as I type something I get a failure message from the Packet_scanf() routine (failure = 3).

Try netcat instead, telnet sends some other control codes which confuse the (fragile) console interface.

Ok it works thanks...
