Procomm had a scripting language that was really cool.
I remember once
setting up 5 or 6 older PCs with Procom to watch the console ports on a
bunch of ATM routers that were having a problem. We would watch for any of
them to show certain symptoms on the console ports and reboot the router if
it showed a failure. It kept the network running in a huge seimconductor
wafer mfg. facility and bought us some time while the manufacturer figured
out what the problem was.
Yes, the scripting is very powerful. You could even develop a BBS system
with it. The version I just updated in my downloads directory has the
full scripting capability, including online manual for the scripting
language as well as a whole bunch of sample scripts to do various useful
things.
