If you want to script a telnet session you might find pyexpect 
a more useful tool.

You specify patterns to look for in the telnet output and the 
functions to call when they are found. Its based on the well 
known Tcl tool expect. I can't remember if its in the standard 
library but if not I'm sure its on sourceforge...
