If all the devices are under your control, it's probably reasonable to standardise on "login local" so that you get prompted for both username and password (since this can then be extended to RADIUS/TACACS without changing the interaction) As for the ---More--- prompt, simply send "term length 0" as the first command after logging in and that problem goes away :-) Regards, Brian.
