124569 2003-02-27 21:37:00 hey there,

how can I use telnet with an answer file in w2k?

I know ftp can accept file input .

Is there anyway to do it with telnet?

like telnet 192 . 168 . 1 . 254 < rboot . txt .

many thanks in advance .

I suspect it's unlikely: telnet is meant for running interactive sessions remotely, but I don't know it all. :D

124572 2003-02-28 01:00:00 You can do it in *nix, with the "expect" utility; this involves running telnet from inside a shell script. It's messy, but it does work.

If you have a look with google ("telnet script" gets some links), you might find something. A guy at westga.edu made a programme to drive telnet from w3.1 (www.westga.edu).

124573 2003-02-28 21:42:00 I just try to restart my dynalink router 210 on a timed basis to get a new ip address.
coz telecom is said to have put something strange on my jetstart line ( in a bid to stop user setting up server), that router will just lockup. I have to push the power button to recover.
that used to happen once a week. now happens very often.

of coz, i used google to search for some scripts. no luck.

someone mentioned secureCRT, but that also needs scripts.

look like I need learn some VB programming again.

124574 2003-03-01 01:20:00 Can you connect to the router via telnet to reboot it (thats me being ignorant!) Actually I wanted to do an ftp session via a script so I ended up with a GPL version of ftp. Dolby Digital (160)
124575 2003-03-01 02:24:00 Plug it into a timeswitch which turns it off briefly in the middle of the night. :D

Don't knock hardware fixes. I've actually done this. Worked like a dream.
