flogin is what you want.  I have it working fine with ssh on similar 
Foundry/Brocade models.

Run something like:

  env NOPIPE=YES PATH=${PATH}:/usr/local/libexec/rancid francid -d devicename

(where /usr/local/libexec/rancid is the place your rancid scripts are 
located) and see what the .raw logfile says.

The user rancid is logging in as will need to be suitable priviliged.  If 
it isn't admin privileged, you may need to permit it to run additional 
commands at your user level.  In my case, I have my rancid user privilege 
5, and also then need to configure:

privilege exec level 5 skip-page-display
