telnet with advanced script facilities

[Dave Binkley]

You may wish to check out comm.pl, a PERL library offering Expect
funtionality for PERL scripts, written by Eric Arnold.  It is available
from the CPAN archive and its mirror sites (eg.
ftp://ftp.cis.ufl.edu/pub/perl/CPAN/).

We use it to mount scripts on ports on our Solaris box to serve up
various databases, user authentification scripts and other
services.
