hlogin and hp2424/4000/8000 ?

[Ed Ravin]

Has anyone got hrancid/hlogin working with the Procurve 2424/4000/8000
switches?  It looks like hlogin is meant for a newer switch that has
a more command-line like interface and an extra command or two.  To
get to the command prompt, you have to enter a couple of menu choices
after logging in ("5", then "4", no carriage returns, then get a line
with a VLAN prompt and enter a CR), and there's no router prompt to speak
of because the telnet interface keeps sending cursor control characters
to show you the current time in the upper right corner.
