Hi; I don't know of any other way to exchange data beneath the tty layer other than TCL+Expect or Perl+Expect in an automated/asynchronous manner on UNIX/Linux. If you are on Windows maybe there is something but I don't know of it.
Perhaps somebody on Perl Monks (http://www.perlmonks.org/) might know the answer.
