Oops, I should have looked just a little closer at your email - that's
not quite Cisco syntax, is it?  Anyway, going back to your original
query, when your Expect code was matching against the router prompt,
since the Riverstone was re-echoing the entire line, including the
prompt, you were matching too early.

Suggest you get C-Kermit or another decent terminal emulator and
use it in debug mode to see exactly what the Riverstone is sending
you during a session - then you can program for it as needed.  You
might have success using a pattern that ends with "\Z" (end of buffer),
since the example you sent us earlier didn't show any junk at the end
of the buffer.  Also, look further in your Riverstone docs, maybe
you can find some way to turn off the formatting.
