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).

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. -- Lloyd Kvam Venix Corp This e-mail (including any attachments) may contain confidential or privileged information and is intended for the sole use of the person(s) to whom it is addressed.
