The time I tried fetch the next thing I noticed was I lost _ALL_ the
settings in te modem. Pinholes vcc2 username .password the lot. It was a
pre password modem tho'.

Is the perl sockets based version avalable?

What about the telnet interface
$m10_prompt='/Telecom Fast Access>/';
$Host_modem_name="M10";
$modem_command="show ip int";
$username="PR";
$password="Telecom";

use Net::Telnet ();

$Host_modem = new Net::Telnet(Prompt => $m10_prompt);
$Host_modem->open($Host_modem_name);
$Host_modem->login($username, $password);
## get ip interfaces
@mr=$Host_modem->cmd(String => $modem_command);

dumps the response in an array one line per element. I am just
not able to see a "correct" method that I am comfortable with to
pull the IP from it aside from looping through with get line and
looking to keep the state of the first word which seems klunky.
