Hi,

it's me again :) (one more mail and you can call it spamming, ;))[1]

Let me ask another question. Why should I (or RExpect, to be precise)
use PTY at all? As far as I can see it only spawns a programm and gets
stdin/stdout. Couldn't I use open3/open4 for the same purpose? I've
modified/extended the RExpect a little bit, so I'm alread used to the
internals, from my point of view I can't see any differences to the Open
libraries. 

I have to talk network devices (Cisco Router/Switches) over ssh/telnet
session (ssh prefered, of course ;)). 


Cheers,
Reto Schuettel
