You should check-out "expect". But really, why don't you install
something like NetSaint (http://www.netsaint.org)? What is the reason
for you to login on so many system - and with _telnet_ ?? You should
atleast use SSH (OpenSSH comes to mind, released under GPL and all =) ).
I'd say that you should atleast take a look at NetSaint, including all
3rd party modules. I can't imagine anything that you can't do with
NetSaint but you can do with a Telnet session (unless you are running
some wierd interactive software).
NetSaint runs on most UNIX/BSD/Linux platforms, but limited controll
over NT (SNMP only IIRC).
