Ugh.  I hope nobody is using telnet anymore.  Passwords send in plain 
text over the network.  Bad.  All uses of telnet should have long since 
been replaced with ssh.

One of the cool thinks about ssh is that not only does it give you 
remote shell connectivity, but it can be used to execute commands 
remotely, over the same secure channel.  There is an awesome python 
package called fabric (http://www.fabfile.org/) which makes it trivial 
to do this inside of a python program.  You can use it as a command-line 
tool, or as a library embedded in another python script.
