The <read> <write> interactivity could be used to be able to respond to
different situations like
ls -l foo
ls: foo: No such file or directory
...
or
ls -l foo
-rwxr-xr-x 1 Administ Kein 1538 Feb 20 19:03 foo
It is true that ssh does not need to be interactive.
The type of "dialog" I am referring to is better handled by a shell script
or an ant build file at the remote end.
It looks like the telnet task needs <read><write> for the login; this is not
the case for ssh.
