[ale] SSh/telnet to the host from shell

[Zyman, Andy]

Robert, thank You.

I wonder, is there any workaround with this problem?
Actually installing additional soft. such as TCl, here, won't be an easy
task.
So maybe I can use smth. else?
Somebody told me that there is a small "magic" :) c-program i can use to do
the same trick as expect is doing....

Thank You
 Andy
