Hey, nobody ever replied but the answer is, don't use Microsoft telnet
client with cygwin expect.
Install cygwin telnet client ( NOT installed by default, heaven alone knows
why when they have a gazillion other things installed by default that will
only be useful to 0.000000000000000000000000000000000000000001% of the user
base )
Anybody know how to resolve or work around this bug in expect: invalid spawn
id (4) the first time I try to something incredibly common such as use
expect to automate a telnet session. I could not find any references to
this in the faq or archives, found one hit on google but no solution.
