man expect However, it's a bad idea to have a script that telnets in without any prompting to the user. Telnet, itself, is inherently insecure, of its own accord, as it sends the username and password out in clear text, and there's no encryption of the session, either.
Add to that, now that in your shell script, you'll have to store the user's name and password, and the wrong people might be able to get that information. If you really want your users to be able connect to another system, without having to be prompted for username/password, then you should be using ssh to connect to the remote server, and publickey authentication to eliminate the need for the password.
