Expect, if nothing else, will do what you want - you can essentially =
control the telnet session from within a script.  You can do much the =
same thing from Perl, Python, or some other scripting language of your =
choice - open a telnet connection to the box, log in and issue commands.

The danger is that your script will probably need to contain login =
information for the router, and in your example above the enable =
password.

Regards,
Tim.
