frontend in html and i should make it to telnet to a router and configure it

I have created a simple html page with button and text field. I type in the ipaddress of the router device and click the button. when i click the button it should open the telnet application for that router.
In windows OS we go to start->run and type in telnet "ipaddress" and the appropriate device will be invoked and i just want this to happen when the button in the html page is clicked.

easiest way I can think of is post the form to a javascript validator that, at the end of validation, redirects the browser to "telnet://ipaddress". Of course if you want to get fancier check out the net::telnet module for Perl
