Thank you ... didn't work, yet, but you pointed me to the right place, and I
started to play around with it. I need to figure out where you have the "bcc"
part, to see if I can figure it out in conjunction with the "enable" and
prompt sequence.

FYI: the sequence of events (including prompt "history" during the login and
enable processing) is as I explained it in the original message, i.e.:

telnet <my_router> <CR>
prompt is Login: 	--> <my_username> <CR>
prompt is Password:	--> <my_password> <CR>
prompt is $		--> bcc <CR>
prompt is bcc>		--> config <CR>
prompt is bcc#		--> this is what I could probably call "enable" mode, if I
were to compare it - somehow - with Cisco

So - after logging in succesfully, the sequence of prompts is $, >, then #.

Thanks again for all the help,
Stef
