>From the telnet manpage:
------------------------------------------------------------
telnet -a     
Attempt automatic login.  This sends the user name via 
the USER variable of the ENVIRON option if supported by 
the remote system. 

~/.telnetrc
After establishing a connection, any commands associated with 
the remote host in the user's .telnetrc file are executed.
The format of the .telnetrc file is as follows:  hostnames 
and sequences of telnet commands to use with that host.  Upon 
connecting to a particular host, the commands associated with 
that host are executed.
