Greetings,

    I have a wireless access point (specifically the DLink DWL2100AP) 
that can be configured via telnet. I am using netcat as the pipline. I 
had used a scripting language in ProComm Plus (a communications package 
from the last century for an OS I prefer not mentioning here) called 
ASPECT. What I need to do is something like this:


listen for "login:"
respond with 'username'
listen for "Password:"
respond with 'password'
etc.
    Once logged in the script would issue configuration commands such as 
'set apmode' or 'find bss'.

    Must I run netcat in the background? If so, how do I interact with 
the process?

TiA

Paul
