Hi,
	I've been duplicating a number of the tests that we ran in Big
Brother through external scripts in the bb-services config file. 
One of these old perl test files opened up a telnet session and navigates
through some menus to confirm the application is running. 

The application is crap and needs to pause between each command otherwise
the session remains open. Is there a way to pause for a length of time as
this app doesn't seem to cache the commands?
No, I'm afraid there isn't. It would be nice to be able to handle such
a dialogue style of network testing, but that is not possible with the
current network tester.

Henrik
