Telnet and command in one line?

[mayh3m]

Hi Everyone

I need to be able to telnet from a linux box to a Windows Telnet Server and run a command from a script.
I know with ssh you can use "ssh usernameassword@ipaddress command to run on remote"
Is there some way similar I can do this with my setup? I can't go loading extra servers on the windows box, so it has to work with the windows telnet server.

Your help and suggestions are much appreciated

There are probably some scriptable telnet procedures you could put together. I expect something in Perl (with a telnet module) would get the job done.

Googling yields:
