Summary: Scripting a telnet session

Thanks a lot to all who responded to my request. I got 50 or so replies. 
Most recommended to use expect. I downloaded and compiled expect and 
then wrote the following script which did what I want.

#!/usr/local/bin/expect
log_file -noappend "telnetoutput.txt"
spawn telnet 192.168.1.254
expect "assword: "
send "12345\r"
expect ">"
send "ip route status\r"
expect ">"
send "exit\r"

Special thanks to Mike Bruno who provided the script.

Regards,

    Andreas
