Expect can control telnet out of the box. Just make sure it is installed with 'teacup install Expect', and follow the examples on the web for controlling telnet using Expect.

Thanks for your response, but I have a few expect scripts that
worked on Windows XP SP1, the IT folks forced my PC to SP2,
In order to make the scripts work on SP1 I had to change the
boot.ini to AlwaysOn to modify the DEP setting. The changes suggested
for SP2 that I found on the Microsoft Website, are not working. I'm hoping that there are other suggestions?

Thanks,

Dave
