Answer Wiki:
Check out "expect"
It allows for multiple expectations and responses, and can bypass many of the problems associated with simple redirection of input and output.
As you might guess, O'Reilly has a pretty good book on the subject.

Telnet to BLN router works now using the expect script. It was due to a typo error in the router ip address.
The next problem is the redirection of ping result back to my unix mch. How do I do it?
