Hi,

I'm curious to know how auto-logon scripts for communications software
work.  By this I mean after logging into some remote host and "handing
over" control to that machine, how does your local machine know when
to send over your login name, password, etc.?  

How is it done using a COM port? (like when using a modem) and, how might it 
(or is it) done with an Internet connection, using a pc with an ethernet card 
using ncsa telnet?  Are the concepts the same, be it a COM port or a network
card?

I'm interested in the programming level of the communications software,
not how to write a logon script.

Any comments, advice or references to books or articles are appreciated.

Thanks,

Tony
