Thank you very much for the information regarding this module. I would like to see the module that you have to offer. I am still new to using this telnet moudule and appreciate anything that would make the details of Net::Telnet more evidant to me and would be curious to see your alternative to it. If you are afraid that the code will be too long for a post here, just place it in the snippits section. I really appreciate your post. Thanks again!
