Oh, this was just in the context of explaining telnet's use of
(pseudo)ttys. Depending on Stephen's needs i think it might be much more
convenient to do everything in expect. While the 'pass the ptty' approach
might be just enough to issue a single command once a program/script needs
to check the results/prompts from the other side expect is _much_ more simple.
(and i wouldn't just send a bunch of commands over telnet ... never know
what goes wrong on the other side ... :-)
