SOLUTION
---------------------------------------------------------------------------=
------------------------------------------------------------------

Most people says me that are two good options

- Expect
- Perl

Finaly i try to use Perl because is the soft that i have intaled.. and =
some people here programs in perl..

the code.

#!/usr/local/bin/perl

use Net::Telnet;
 $telnet =3D new Net::Telnet ( Timeout=3D>400,
                             Errmode=3D>'die',
                             Port=3D>2001 );
 print $telnet->open($ARGV[0]);
 while ($report =3D $telnet ->getline) {
 print $report;
}

$=20

This code starts a telnet session to the first argument an print the =
output to the stdout.

Its works fine for me.

Thank to all!!
my apologies.. i have a horrible english..  :)

Regards.
