Yes I guess I'll keep digging around.

I've got one example another reader sent along for doing cisco stuff.
That helps.

On another topic I think that the case when $timeout is undef
isn't working properly.  i.e. I think it's getting defined
anyway but it's defined to the expect expression.  I think something is
getting shifted off but shouldn't be.  I was seeing under debug
that it was trying to subtract (line 612) using the expect string.

Thanks.
