  Availability of telnet EXPECT port? 
 The Question is:
 
What applications, that run on VMS for Vax, allow us to directly read and
write messages using the Telnet Protocol?
e.g. EXPECT for UNIX
 
 The Answer is:
 
  The OpenVMS Wizard is not immediately aware of an OpenVMS port
  of the NIST Expect telnet tool, nor is the EXPECT FAQ posted at:
 
    http://expect.nist.gov/FAQ.html
 
  Direct access to the socket layer is available, obviously.
 
  PERL also offers Expect-like capabilities, see the Perl5 Module
  List (of Reusable Software).
 
  The DEC Test Manager package can be used to simulate terminal-based
  input as part of product testing...
