I don't know how you'd go about authenticating yourself with the router (unless the factory reset is done some other way, and the telnet part is just to push the config, in which case you'd be using the default credentials), but presumably you've worked that part out already. Python has a socket module which is probably what you want here. You can connect on any port, read what comes back, and send whatever you need. If the job's simple enough, you might even be able to just connect, send a fixed blob of text, and then listen for errors in the response... or even not, and just let the user try it afterwards. http://docs.python.org/3/library/socket.html Does that look like what you need?
