Please upgrade to IO-Tty v1.01 and Expect v1.15.  Be sure to read the 
FAQs in the Expect docs.

Sorry, there is no generic answer.  A user can change the prompt to 
something completely arbitrary.  qr(^\S*[]$#%>] \Z) should cover the 
most common styles, though.

I'd suggest switching to 'rsh' to avoid the prompt issue completely, or 
even better to use 'ssh'.

Hope this helps,
