How Do I Open a Telnet Session From Excel?

Hello All,

I am trying to figure out a way to open a telnet session from within Excel. I would like to be able to click on a particular cell, and have it perform a telnet command (telnet 192.168.***.***) that opens up to the banner page of a switch.

If I could accomplish only that, I would be happy. But if possible, I would also like to have a script automatically input CTRL-Y in order to proceed past the banner page, and open the username and password prompt.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
