I am afraid you are not being very clear. When you say "locally on the server", what is the server? It sounds to me like you have a network of systems, all of which are interconencted so that when you are on one system on the network you can login to any of the others. However, you also have a keyboard, mouse and monitor connected to a v240. You physically login to the v240 through this monitor and then use telnet to get to the v1280. You want this to happen automatically. Is this all correct?
Probably the easiest solution is to use the login screen to connect to the v1280 directly. At the login screen, there should be a couple of menus in the lower left of the screen. One of the choices probably something like "log into other host". If the v1280 has the XDMCP protocol enabled, then it should allow you to connect to it as if the console were directly connected.
I think v240 is a console of v1280
Create a Simple script to connect to v1280
example
abc.sh--- login script to connect to v1280
Assign the script at login process when you telnet v240 in such a way when you login via (telnet or ssh) to v240 , The first thing it should do is connect you to v240 and then automatically connects to v1280
I don't recommend it,If v240 is a console server for not only v1280 and for other servers as well.(it won't be much helpful)
The setting what i mentioned is helpful of individual administrator.
Most of the company as a policy or a procedure setup , so everyone get use to the same way.
Hope this help

I am confused. If you are using ssh or telnet to login to the V240, why can't you simply login to the V1280 directly? Is it not directly accessible via the network? Or is it that you login via a console and that console belongs to the V240? I am afraid you will need to describe your setup and process a little more.
