Mikrotik Expect Script Slow Connection

Tomas was having issues running an expect script that SSH’s into a Mikrotik to pull information. He would load about 80% of the MOTD, then it would hang for 10 seconds, then finish loading.

Thrift had the thought about an issue with terminal emulation…which turned out to be the case.

Tomas says to run with the “ct” additions(disable auto detect and color) as seen here.

I’m putting this here because I will forget and I’ll need this somewhere in the future 😛
