I 'm writing a program that would like to launch a telnet session from within vb to send 
commands to launch 
 this setup.  I can create a script with all the parameters and commands needed, however my 
problem is logging on and sending
  the password then> issuing the initial commands from within my program. I can shell to  
telnet but then the user would need to logon on etc. I want to do it in an automated fashion.   
Any help would be appreciated
