title: Scripting via PuTTY or ....?
body: <p>Long ago I used a program called Procomm Plus in Windows for scripting/automating interactions with modems, etc.  Now I'm using PuTTY/ssh for similar things like dealing with Juniper Networks NetOS devices.  Right now I'm pretty much stuck with pasting text which doesn't allow looping.
  I can think of a couple of variations on this:
  - use something other than PuTTY ... but what?
  - launch a script through PuTTY ... but how?</p>
