How to automate interactive telnet commands?

Question

I would like to query a telnet server on port 105. What I have to do currently is start an interactive session and enter the commands later one by one.

Since I already know the commands, I would like to automate this process and fetch the results without any manual intervention.

When I try to use pipe to push commands at the time of logging in, this doesn't work. Any help is highly appreciated.
