Chris Gamper wrote with one note that may also be of interest:

" The only problems I ever encounter are related to long pauses during heavy usage periods for our network. There will be a long pause between entering the password and returning to the unix prompt. The script only waits for about 15 seconds then returns an error (Couldn't match script ">"). Just hangup and redial."
