You can do it using 'expect' and there is also a 
program called 'cnct' that works something like

cnct -p password -c file_of_commands router

A search turns up this:

http://web.infoave.net/~anonymous/unix/README.CISCO

which also references a cisco-expect.shar,
written by one of the UUnet originals.

Searching for ccm.tar I found:

http://www.free.net/ftp/networking/management/cisco/

and the ccm.tar there appears to contain the correct cnct.
The C code is short enough so you can visually confirm
what it does.
