Router banners

I have come across a problem with RANCID when trying to login to
routers with a banner. Two real world examples are attached ( ahhhh pretty ;) )

It looks like the ?login script thinks it's already logged in due to the presence
of the > in both banners.

Yup. We had to ban some characters in banners (and other motds)
- no > or #.

The trickest part about clogin (et al) is recognizing the prompt
correctly. [.expect turns out to be a horrible language for writting
anything complicated in.]

Looks like this needs to be added to the FAQ.
