lib/remote.exp defines procedures for establishing and managing
communications. Each of these procedures tries to establish the
connection up to three times before returning. Warnings (if retries will
continue) or errors (if the attempt is abandoned) report on
communication failures. The result for any of these procedures is
either -1, when the connection cannot be established, or the
spawn ID returned by the Expect command spawn

It use the value of the connect
field in the target_info
array (was connectmode
as the type of connection to make. Current
supported connection types are ssh, tip, kermit, telnet, rsh, and
rlogin. If the --reboot
option was used on the runtest command
line, then the target is rebooted before the connection is made.
