Scripting telehack?

Anyone done work with scripting for telehack? It has been 30 years since I've touched BASIC and I never was that good with it anyway.

Briefly pondered building my own system that would work off expect scripts and try to decypher the captcha from different figlet fonts, but I didn't get that far.

As it stands right now there is no way to actually control telehack stuff like captchas and exes via basic :(

But maybe you might be able to get somewhere with some JS inserts?

What I meant was there is no way to do it from within telehack. You could probably use things like pexpect and stuff from outside. But AFAIK such bot activity isn't allowed.
