I am getting timed-out waiting for command prompt Try using the logging features of Net::Telnet and see what the conversation looks like. Most likely what is being expected as a prompt is not being seen by the module. Peter L. Berghold -- Unix Professional Peter -at- Berghold -dot- Net; AOL IM redcowdawg Yahoo IM: blue_cowdawg	[reply]

Almost certainly your prompt value - try taking it out (the default should work).	[reply]
