I'd like to thank the following people who offered solutions:
Mark Sherman
Steve Kay
Jesus Cea Avion
Michael Maciolek
Seth Rothenberg
Jonathan Loh
My skeleton above will work only if you put
sleep commands between echo commands. That was
the piece I was missing ( stupid me, I could have
figured it out ).
I also was recommended to use netcat and a Perl module
Net-Telnet-3.01.tar.gz, available from CPAN site. One suggestion
was to use Tcl/Tk, but I anticipated it by mentioning expect
in the original posting.
I also thank a couple of people who didn't offer solutions
but were kind enough to respond with their thinking on the
subject.
Igor
