Jeff: I'm fairly sure you want Net::Telnet and Net::Telnet::Cisco. These are perl modules that allow you to automate many - well, actually....all telnet tasks.
There are PPMs for Win32, and ActiveState perl is free from activestate. http://nettelnetcisco.sourceforge.net/ I am working on an advanced script for cisco devices that goes into switches and routers, and determines settings that are missing. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jeff Cook Sent: Wednesday, June 16, 2004 7:32 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [WhatsUp Forum] OT Telnet Automation I know this is slightly off topic, but I think this group will have good answers. You can email me directly or to the group. Do you, and if yes how do you automate a telnet connection. For example I want to change the password on all my HP JetDirect printers, Cisco switches and other network devices. I'm looking for something that can work with anything that supports telnet, not just Cisco.
