+ <description>
+
+ <p>Callback module for
+ <seealso marker="ct_telnet"><c>ct_telnet</c></seealso>,
+ for connecting to a Telnet server on a UNIX host.</p>
+
+ <p>It requires the following entry in the configuration file:</p>
+
+ <pre>
+ {unix,[{telnet,HostNameOrIpAddress},
+ {port,PortNum}, % optional
+ {username,UserName},
+ {password,Password},
+ {keep_alive,Bool}]}. % optional</pre>
+
+ <p>To communicate through Telnet to the host specified by
+ <c>HostNameOrIpAddress</c>, use the interface functions in
+ <seealso marker="ct_telnet"><c>ct_telnet</c></seealso>, for example,
+ <c>open(Name)</c> and <c>cmd(Name,Cmd)</c>.</p>
+
+ <p><c>Name</c> is the name you allocated to the Unix host in your
+ <c>require</c> statement, for example:</p>
+
+ <pre>
+ suite() -&gt; [{require,Name,{unix,[telnet]}}].</pre>
+
+ <p>or</p>
+
+ <pre>
+ ct:require(Name,{unix,[telnet]}).</pre>
+
+ <p>The "keep alive" activity (that is, that <c>Common Test</c> sends NOP
+ to the server every 10 seconds if the connection is idle) can be
+ enabled or disabled for one particular connection as described here.
+ It can be disabled for all connections using <c>telnet_settings</c>
+ (see <seealso marker="ct_telnet"><c>ct_telnet</c></seealso>).</p>
+
+ <p>The <c>{port,PortNum}</c> tuple is optional and if omitted, default
+ Telnet port 23 is used. Also the <c>keep_alive</c> tuple is optional,
+ and the value defauls to <c>true</c> (enabled).</p>
