[Tutor] Telnet to cisco device

[STREET Gideon (SPARQ)]

Thanks all for the replies.

I got tcpwatch up and running and where the program was hanging is
actually a page prompt, so now I just need to get the script to pass a
space whenever that prompt comes up.... I'm surprised it worked and got
to that point (that's a testament to the online tutorials).

Fun and games :)

Sending both \r and \n may be confusing things.

I'd recommend using tcpwatch.py
http://hathawaymix.org/Software/TCPWatch
to monitor a telnet session that works.  That way you will have a
collection of exact prompts available to build your script.
