A very careful reading of the man page shows:
Note that two parsers will examine these escape sequences, so in
order to have the `chat parser' see the escape character, it is
necessary to escape it from the `command parser'. This means that in
practice you should use two escapes, for example:
So, I changed my set login to
set login "TIMEOUT 5 ogin:-\\r-ogin: \\#xxxxxxx word: xxxxxx"
^^
and, it worked. I previously tried one escape for the '#'. But, two
parsers see the login string. So, two escapes are needed.
Thanks for the reply.
