I can't remember how much is now in the distributed francid, but my 
ShowChassis subroutine looks like this, to filter out some of that extra 
crud.  It is apparently based on francid.in,v 1.48.

sub ShowChassis {
    my($skip) = 0;

    print STDERR "    In ShowChassis: $_" if ($debug);

    while (<INPUT>) {
        tr/\015//d;
        last if (/^$prompt/);
        next if (/ from /);
        next if (/current temperature/i);

        if (/^---/ || /^$/) { # next section reached
            $skip = 0;
        }
        if (/(POWERS|TEMPERATURE READINGS)/) {
            $skip = 1;
        }
        if (/fan controlled temperature:/i) {
            $skip = 1;
        }
        if (/THERMAL PLANE/) {
            $skip = 1;
        }
        if (/temperature:/i) {
            $skip = 1;
        }
        s/(Fan \d+ \S+), speed .*/$1/;
        if (/speed/i) {
            $skip = 1;
        }
        next if $skip;

        ProcessHistory("CHASSIS","","","! $_");
    }
    ProcessHistory("CHASSIS","","","!\n");
    return(0);
}
