Okay, here are some things I found out. 1) Linux telnet is sending a 0x0a for the enter key 2) Windows putty program is sending a 0x0d for the enter key 3) Windows telnet is sending a 0x0d0a for the enter key 4) The device (don't ask) I'm working with doesn't like the Linux telnet I've tried coding the expect with 0x0d: expect ">" send "m2" send "\x0d" But, this doesn't seem to work. I'm starting to run out of ideas. Frank M. Ramaekers Jr. Systems Programmer MCP, MCP+I, MCSE & RHCE American Income Life Insurance Co.

I had to do this with some data radios as of late, and it worked out pretty well. <http://linux.die.net/man/1/expect> Regards, Max _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@xxxxxxxxxx http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos _____________________________________________________ This message contains information which is privileged and confidential and is solely for the use of the intended recipient.
