Network having ksh script problems
well i have written a script to telnet and ftp to all my servers, the script runs great, BUT i can not for the life of me figure out how to get the script to repeat if the conditions are not filled.

this is what i have so far
Code:
#########################################
TorF(){

        echo T for Telnet or F for FTP
        read TF

        if [ $TF = "F" ] || [ $TF = "f" ]
        then
                ftp $IPADD
        fi
        if [ $TF = "T" ] || [ $TF = "t" ]
        then
                telnet $IPADD
        fi


}
##########################################

clear
#
echo "Please Select The site your would like to Telnet/FTP to."
#


echo      1. server1
echo      2. server2

echo "Please Make Your Selection. \c"
        read ANS

        case $ANS in
                '1')
                        IPADD='001.001.001.001'
                        ;;
                '2')
                        IPADD='111.111.111.111'
                        ;;
        esac
        TorF

#########################################

what i have been trying to do is have it start again if you do not meet the conditions. but i only want it to do that 2 times, before it will bring you back to a prompt......



I am stumped

any help would be great
