Marlon, Thanks, I'd not considered that. I was just doing some preliminary I/O research and testing to broaden my knowledge of some of the bits 'n bytes of Perl, I wasn't planning on anything as fancy as an automated telnet session. However, now that you've raised the idea....<g>
Still, there has to be something very simple which I'm not doing which puts the prompt back on my Linux server monitor after I've squirted a message to it.

I haven't used every function, but the expect and send functions seem to work well and that's usually all you need.
