It is.  The example is for ftp, which reads from stdin (and there's no 
need to process responses from the ftp server, while there might be from 
telnet).

If you didn't want to fool with expect you could use netcat instead of 
telnet.  But it doesn't necessarily handle the prompt/response style of 
telnet well.
