Telnet is crap anyway. Use 'ssh' instead. If you provide ssh keys, you
can login w/o further password asking and your users have to give the
password only once at the serial login.

 Hi,
 
 i have some 4.10 systems with local connected serial terminals. now
 the problem is, that the terminal should connect to a remote host when
 they are switched on and prompt for the login at the romote host.

perhaps you can use conserver for that, even if it is designed to do the
opposite (ie. manage remote attacjed serial consoles)?
It's in ports, see
ports/comms/conserver
ports/comms/conserver-com

If not, you will have to look for a way to set up someting like the
following:
- automatic login on local machine (as an unprivileged user)
- automatic connection to remote host (perhaps via .profile or somesuch

Hmm, there is an 'autologin' entry in my /etc/gettytab, and gettytab(5)
explains about the 'al' capability. This allows you to to autologin as a
specified user, at least.

There is also the 'lo' capability, which controls the program to execute
once a name is obtained, usually '/usr/bin/login'. I don't know it it is
possible to change this into, say ssh and have the teminal automatically
connect to another machine.
