Is there any telnet module available for Ansible?

Maybe, use the expect module? [http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/expect\_module.html#status](http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/expect_module.html#status)

- hosts: localhost

tasks:

- expect:  
command: telnet localhost 8000  
responses:  
“Escape character is ‘\^]’.”: “GET / HTTP/1.1\rHost: localhost\r\n”  
“”: “\x1d”  
“telnet\>”: “quit”  
ignore\_errors: yes
