I will point out that this is not possible in the general case.

Let me get this straight. You are being sprayed with over 200 packets a second in a random sequence. You are to reload your Cisco's access lists 200 times a second over a telnet based expect script or something similar? This doesn't strike you as impractical?

Admittedly, it is difficult

It is impossible using the stated methods. Perry
