Again, like problem Carlos had with password for an ssh session: use Expect, at least, if your ADSL modem has a telnet interface. #!/usr/bin/expect -- set timeout 60 spawn telnet st546 expect "Username :" send "admin\r" expect "Password :" send "xxxxx\r" expect "=>" send "adsl info\r" expect "=>" send "exit\r" =>adsl info Modemstate : up [..] Put the script in a cron job and extract the data you want with grep. With pyexpect and pylab you can make nice looking graphs. Theo -- Theo v.
