I am trying to write an expect script that trys to telnet, if telnet fails, trys to ssh to a remote network devices.

The script works fine until the following is received :

spawn telnet 10.3.2.24
Trying 10.3.2.24...
telnet: connect to address 10.3.2.24: Connection refused
10.3.2.24 is not reachable!!
spawn ssh -l myname 10.3.2.24
The authenticity of host '10.3.2.24 (10.3.2.24)' can't be established.
RSA key fingerprint is b1:z6:22:85:3a:a6:z0:ae:6d:b3:9d:f6:77:85:01:aa.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)?

Ive added

expect {continue connecting*} {send "yes\r"}

at different places within the telnet host not reachable section, but cant
get expect to respond.

Ive added the entire script below for those who may want to look at it.
