I've got, they speak a different language after the telnet from other
DRAC cards, hence the problem.
Indeed, they are SMASH-CLP

As far as I can make out it is designed to be a vendor neutral out of
band management processor interface. So a DRAC, ILO, LOM, etc. all look
the same. I guess in about 10 years when everything in the data centre
has such an interface it will make life simpler in multi vendor
environments.
It is full of XML goodness if that sort of stuff is your cup of tea, and
is supposed to be easier to script up.
You can get it on a standard DRAC5 by issuing a smclp command after login.
All that said it is the most tortuous pile of dino droppings I have had
the misfortune to use. Not helped by a lack of documentation. Looks like
it came right out of the same committee that dreamt up ACPI.
