Well, I use expect in my dialup email server, but not to establish
the connection. I'm using the following to dialup:
#PPP command with built in chat script
/usr/sbin/pppd connect '/usr/sbin/chat -v "" ATZ OK AT\&F1 OK
ATDT1-nnn-nnn-nnnn CONNECT "" ogin: your_login_id word: your_password'
/dev/modem 115200 crtscts modem lock noipdefault kdebug 0
Note that my emailer has broken up the original single line, starting
with /usr/sbin/pppd, into several lines. yours must be all one line
in the shell script. This gets my foot in the door of my ISP, but not
necessarily to a telnet prompt.
Then a little later in the script, I use expect to telnet to the
host on a non standard telnet port (NN) to accomplish my objectives.
I've modified it a bit so as to not give out passwords or the host
I'm dealing with, or what im doing.
expect << EOcmds
spawn telnet some.isp.com NN
expect "some string you expect "
send "my reply string"
expect "some string you expect"
send "my reply string"
expect "some string you expect"
send "quit\n"
EOcmds
let me know if that helps
