SendKeys & AppActivate

[Unknown]

I try to write a script to open a "telnet" session without using the keyboard ( the script must give the user and the password) but no result !
I am a beginer and I try to use "SendKeys" and "AppActivate". May be is not the good solution ! Can anybody help me ?
Thanks !

Something like this should work ok in NT/2000/XP ...

sIP = "123.45.67.89"
sPortNo = "123"
sUserID= "username"
sPassword = InputBox("Password")

With CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
.Run "%comspec% /k title Telnet & telnet " '& sIP & " " & sPortNo,
1, false
While not .AppActivate("Telnet") : Wscript.Sleep 100 : Wend
.SendKeys sUserID & "{Enter}"
.SendKeys sPassword & "{Enter}"

End With

This approach will NOT work with Win 95/98/ME and there is no good way
to get any information back from the telnet session using the Windows
telnet client. I once worked out a kludge using the system clipboard
for use with 95/98/ME, but I can't recommend it.

I have seen references to 'scriptable' telnet clients out there, but I
don't have a reference.

No problem; I do. :-)

I haven't played with it but IIRC Alex K was messing about a bit with it -
are you around today Alex? I can't vouch for how well or how badly it
performs.
