Scripting a telnet session

Hi all,

this is probably a bit off topic, but I know no other place to ask the
question.

We want to execute a sh script on our Solaris 8 box that logs into
another machine via telnet issues a command that generates some output
and then write this output into a file on the Sun. How can this be done?

We tried

#!/bin/sh
echo Getting the stuff
telnet 192.168.1.254 << FOE
<password>
ip route status
FOE

for the script "getit" and called it like this "./getit > filename".
However, the telnet session does not seem to get established this way.
Any ideas how to do it right?

Thanks a lot in advance,

    Andreas
