Pexpect and telnet not communicating properly

[David Anderson]

I am trying to automate the following session - to talk to my router:

{Administrator}=>exit

========================

I am using the following code:

#!/usr/bin/env python

import pexpect
import sys

child = pexpect.spawn('telnet 192.168.1.254')
fout = file('mylog.txt','w')
child.logfile = fout

child.expect('sername : ')
child.sendline('Administrator')
child.expect('assword : ')
child.sendline('')


child.expect('_{Administrator}=>')
child.sendline('?')
child.expect('_{Administrator}=>')
child.expect('exit')

========================

This times out after child.sendline('Administrator')

mylog.txt contains:
Trying 192.168.1.254...

Connected to 192.168.1.254.

Escape character is '^]'.

Username : Administrator

========================

Can anyone help me in finding out what I am doing wrong?
