in reply to Problem with telnet and paging
With your example "sh ver" command I immediately think Cisco and when I connect to Cisco routers (using Net::Telnet::Cisco by the way, which in turn uses Net::Telnet), I always issue "terminal length 0" as the first command. That disables paging and then long output like 'show ver', 'show run', etc... always work for me.
