Sending info when establishing a telnet connection

I was wondering whether it would be possible to automatically send
username and password to the remote telnet daemon when establishing a
telnet connection?

Yes, I am aware that using telnet in an open network is a security
hazard, and that there are far more secure solutions out there; but that
is not the issue here. I just want to know if telnet does support such a
thing.

Username, yes. See "man telnet", look for "-l". Password, no, but see
expect(1). You can find sample expect scripts for telnet which will do
this.

Yep, that does the trick. Much appreciated.
