Teleporting turtles.

Hi guys, since i wasn't quite sure where to ask this question i figured i'd just do it here. I'm playing on a server where there aren't any wireless receivers/transmitters and i'm looking for a way to use turtles for remote controlled actions. The thing is, there are 2 options: 1) i use a turtle teleporter at my main command center and let it teleport places to pull levers and such
or 2) use the rednet api on the turtles/pc's themselves. Are there any guides, or tips that you could give me to help me finish this project? I wasn't able to get the turtle teleporters working(probably cause i'm using the api wrongly in some way)

Help would be greatly appreciated!

I don't have a lot of experience with the teleporters, but here is some info on the rednet.

This is the rednet API page on the wiki.

You need a wireless turtle and a wireless modem on your computer. This turns the modems on:

rednet.open("right")

Then you use these to send and receive:

rednet.send(id, "youre message")
id,message,distance = rednet.receive(optionalTimeout)

I not quite sure about teleporters, but I think your turtles need fuel to use them, something like 4*distance or distance^2, I don't remember (distance is |x| + |y| + |z|, in other words, your fuel consumption if you would have done the travel by regular moves).
So you should rather use modem, when possible. I don't know anything about the behavior of teleporters through dimensions, but I'm pretty sure modems don't work.

The fastest and probably most reliable way would be to send the turtles up to the top of the world and then move all the X axis distance then Z axis distance. I wouldn't move diagonally as the turtle will have to turn a lot which takes a lot of time (my testing showed about 0.4 seconds).

I would also make a number of wireless repeating stations at the top of the world.

Do you have any code at the moment?
