Scripted telnet access from Windows - 05/09/2005 12:58
So, we've got a managed switch in our lab that I'd like to reconfigure as part of our automated build process. It's got telnet access, so it should be fairly easy.
What I want are pointers to programs like 'chat' (the one that used to be used with pppd), but that run on Windows and talk telnet.
Suggestions?

puTTY ?
EDIT: Oh wait, are you specifically after scriptable clients? I suppose so, from the subject line.

I only know of puTTY, but doubt that it's scriptable enough.
Here's Google's best bet:

You need:
ActivePerl (Since this is on Winders)
Net::Telnet (from Perl CPAN)
Net::Telnet::Cisco automates my whole Cisco switch/router subnet, its a joke how easy it is.

Sounds like just about any mud client I've used. Portal was my favorite, tinyfugue is also nice.

Net::Telnet will let you automate any telnet session. I've used it for tons of things
Net::Telnet::Cisco is for IOS.. makes it *even* easier
