AFAIK MacOS X uses tcsh as it's default shell (or do you use something else?). If so, I have two suggestions:
Use another shell. csh/tcsh are bad in terms of usability for more than executing simple commands
Try changing your script as follows
Code:
telnet 6.20.9.35 <<EOF
Admin
Password
EOF
I can't guarantee that that will work, as most implementations of telnet will only accept input from the terminal (keyboard that is). If the code above does not work, you should look into enabling access via SSH and a keypair. If that's not possible, try expect or netcat.
