Hi, newbie here. I am using NET:Telnet:Cisco to telnet to and log into Cisco CAT-OS and Cisco IOS switches. I receive an error and bomb out ONLY when connecting to a CAT-OS switch and then attempt to progress past the username and password field. The issues is: the CAT-OS has a delay when producing/displaying the 'username' and 'password' prompts (Cisco IOS serves up these two fields immediately and the problem does not appear on IOS switches). I want to modify the Cisco.pm to insert a wait or pause or sleep so that it waits a few secs for the username prompt to appear before proceeding, same wait for the password prompt. I have ID'd several areas in the .pm that I believe are the approp. routine/sub-routine, but don't know how to add the waitfor or sleep. Can someone offer a fix? Don't know how to add the .pm text here?? too newbie, but need help!! thx a bunch in advance.
