The problem with "TclApp" and "Telnet"

[1985zho...@163.com]

Hi,
I have a question about "TclApp" and "Telnet". My program is about the
remote access to a ADSL DSLAM with "Telnet". I handle that with
"Expect". And when the code is Tcl extension, it works well. Then, I
compile it to EXE with TclApp. It turns out a problem. The EXE program
is ok in some PC. Howerver in others, it raises a problem that the
user name is not provided when the DSLAM ask for it. Thus, I fail to
have access to the DSLAM.
I have no idea why. Is there anybody who has a similar problem? And
can someone give me some advice. Thank you!

Regards,

This has nothing to do with TclApp - it is Expect, and the limitations
that it as (or rather minimum requirements) to work being a specific
dbghelp.dll and no DEP enabled on the machine. See the expect mailing
list for more pointers.

You mean that if I shutdown the DEP, like modify "/no execute" to "/
execute" in the boot.ini, My problem will be solved ?
However the PC that works well also has DEP enabled. It is "/no
execute=AlwaysOff" in the boot.ini, but not "/execute....".

Might be easier to use plink.exe (part of the PuTTY suite of programs)
as your "telnet" since it is freely available and yet isn't (on XP at
least) protected by any DEP stuff. Indeed, plink's designed for being
driven by other programs (such as your Tcl/Expect scripts). Don't know
enough about how things work on Vista to know if what I've just said
applies there.

It works. Thank you very much!
