An additional thought: why not use netcat? 

Netcat is a general purpose program that transfers data across a TCP/IP
connection. It comes in both Windows and Linux versions, so you could
run a Windows copy in a .BAT file under control of the WINE application,
using it to ship commands and/or data to a Linux shell via a Linux copy
of netcat. You could choose to run both ends of the connection on the
same host or at either side of a network. 

The Linux version is called 'netcat' or 'nc'.
