You can automate input to terminal by using a series of echo and sleep commands.....(sleep commands are important if some of the commands take time to complete).
Here is an exerpt from a telnet script I wrote that requires terminal input....
(
sleep 2
echo ${FTPid}
sleep 2
echo ${FTPpwd}
sleep 2
echo ${FINDstatement}
sleep 5
exit
) | telnet ${FTPserver}
The cariables are obviously all defined earlier..... so effectively my script is compelting the following commands to terminal
telnet <server>
user_id
password
command (i.e rm *.log)
exit
And there is sleeping between commands to allow the commands to execute before I type type the next. This should allow you to complete what you need.

telnetrc
telnetrc(4) Kernel Interfaces Manual telnetrc(4)
NAME
telnetrc, .telnetrc - Specifies setup commands for a telnet session
SYNOPSIS
$HOME/.telnetrc
DESCRIPTION
The .telnetrc file contains the setup information for a telnet session. It is a hidden file in your home directory and must be readable by
the user logging in.
The file can consist of multiple entries for each remote host to which a user can connect. A remote host entry consists of multiple lines.
The first line is the name of a remote host. The subsequent lines must begin with blank spaces, and contain telnet subcommands. These sub-
commands are processed as though they were typed in manually. Lines beginning with a number sign (#) are comment lines. See telnet(1) for
a complete list of telnet subcommands.
To specify subcommands that apply to all systems, create an entry, using the word "DEFAULT" as the system name, and specify the telnet sub-
commands in the subsequent lines.
EXAMPLES
The following shows a sample .telnetrc file:
# Beginning of telnetrc file # Default subcommands that apply to all systems DEFAULT
environ undefine USER # First system entry system1
set echo
toggle crlf # Second system entry system2
set echo
mode line
toggle crlf
FILES
User-customized telnet startup values.
