I use a good bit of Net::Telnet on a variety of UNIX servers - the only
issue I've had is when the prompts were different. And yes, it's a good idea
to turn on the log for input and output.

Hi,

I've been doing a lot of work on my LAN lately, trying to establish
connections between my PC and the server and conduct operations on the
server.  I beat my head on Net::Telnet (in an environment similar to yours)
for over a week and finally gave up, opting for Net::FTP instead which is
much friendlier.  Seems that it's not the prompt that Telnet doesn't like,
it's all the weird line separators in the output (look at the dump of
output_log to see what I mean).  Caveat:  I'm having a problem with running
commands through Net::FTP->quot() also, so beware (see my post just prior to
yours).

Glen
