Is there an open source telnet API/library out there for Java (something like Python telnetlib)? I need to connect to a server using telnet and execute some commands from within a Java program.

My preference is to use the Apache Commons-Net library. http://commons.apache.org/net/ It supports many client protocols, including Telnet.

I've used this in the past and it works quite well.
