telnet question

Does anyone know a way to log into a telnet server with username and password all with one command? I have to do this remotely. I can do this with FTP with the following command under windows:

ftp -s:c:\dir\test2.txt 10.0.0.207

The "-s:filename" option is just a list of commands that occurs once the ftp server is contacted. I was wondering if there was a way to do this with telnet also. Basically, I need to automate a task from Windows to HP-UX with as much simplicity as possible and I can't do everything that I need from the FTP prompt. Any help appreciated. I have a shell script written to take care of the work once I get into the telnet server, I just need to get there first. (This is so I don't have to teach people Unix to do a simple task)
