It is possible several ways.
-- rlogin
-- expect
automated telnet login with expect
-- port forwarding
(-- implementation specific --)
-- a custom login shell
custom passwd file telnet login
Each can reach the goal you mention, working at different
parts of the *nix communication process. *nix is a
tool-builder's culture; part of that culture is avoiding
re-inventing the tool-chain. Google is a meta-tool in that
regard. The inset was a query which produced a result for me
on the first couple hit pages ...
The 'best' tool for me would an expect approach (but I am
fluent in scripting, and have examples to crib from -- there
is a worked example running 5 pages in Don Libes excellent
book: Exploting Expect -- a copy is or should be available in
your local library. If not, librarians are always looking for
feedback on what to buy. Recomment this one. Used copies on
Amazon run - $16.50, used

)
-- others may find rlogin (also called rsh, remsh, ssh and
more, depending on *nix installation and security policies)
easier (but it is potentially less secure)
good luck -- Russ Herrold
