Thanks
it seem that there also was a small issue with telnet'ing to an
win2k machine , where it asks for the Terminal emulation which it needs to
display the stdout.
So when I added the expect and sends for that and the interactive() , it
works.
Cheers G.

Yes, that's intended behaviour. You can control that session by
sending to it and expecting on its output.

Use interact(). This connects the process with the scripts stdin/out
(your terminal). BTW, storing passwords in cleartext has security
implications and should be avoided wherever possible. Maybe you could
use ssh instead?
Hope this helps,
