Re: Telnet Scripting?

Ok, so you're saying that I can simply send text strings to port 23 for the
same effect? Like I could send the login information and commands at timed
intervals, followed by carriage returns ('Enter' key)? If so, that's great.
But can I use vbscript, jscript, or vba to do this?

As an aside, do you know wether or not telnet.exe is even scriptable to
begin with?
