--------------

This manual section was written by Peter Funk <pf@artcom-gmbh.de>.
A simple example illustrating typical use:

     import getpass
     import sys
     import telnetlib
     
     HOST = "localhost"
     user = raw_input("Enter your remote account: ")
     password = getpass.getpass()
     
     tn = telnetlib.Telnet(HOST)
     
     tn.read_until("login: ")
     tn.write(user + "\n")
     if password:
         tn.read_until("Password: ")
         tn.write(password + "\n")
     
     tn.write("ls\n")
     tn.write("exit\n")
     
     print tn.read_all()
