Suppose I have a server running 24/7 and I want to reset its internet
connection when the connection is detected as having failed. Is there
any
way to use Telnet to reboot a Vigor router, using a single command line
or
some scripting method?

I can see that:
Telnet <router IP>
Respond to password prompt with correct password
Send command : "sys reboot"
... is the general idea

Any ideas gratefully received.

expect works well for that. Or it does on Unix, at least, I don't
know about the windows version.

Thanks Dennis - I will give it a try ...
