Ssh -- or even rsh -- are better choices than telnet for these things.
For some reason, they are not standard in Windows, though.

  ssh somewhere some command with arguments
  rsh somewhere some command with arguments

compared to

  telnet somewhere

and then performing expect-like things (basically simulating
someone typing "some command with arguments" in the telnet
session).

That's a function of the remote OS; what happens when its terminal
goes away is not under the control of the client side.
