Hei

   If you are using expect and not expectk then the problem
is that there is no window for your script to "interact" in.

   You need to exec an xterm and tell the xterm to run your
expect script. I am not sure of the exact syntax but it is
something along the lines of:

      Exec "router1" exec xterm -e $HOME/map.exp router1
