Problems with expect, RS6000

[Robert M. Wise]

Machine: IBM RS/6000 320
OS: AIX
Patch Level: 2006 (the latest, as far as I know...)

I've been trying to use expect to retrieve my mcimail.
Over a direct serial line to an mcimail server, my expect
script hangs every time.  Over a modem to an mcimail 800 number,
the script hangs 2 out of every three tries, but works fine
otherwise!  I've used expect a fair amount, an would like to
think that user error is not the problem.  No, its not a timing/timeout
problem either that is causing the flaky behavior over the modem.

The modem is a telebit trailblazer.

Thanks!
