I find that I can ask Terminal to establish an ssh connection in a two step process.
First an osascript that tells Terminal to do the ssh for which it would normally ask for a password after the initial connection.
I then delay a couple of seconds and "tell" Terminal to "password" in the same Terminal window..
Terminal accepts the output of the osascript as though it came from a tty. (I think that has to do with pty, pseudo tty, devices files in /dev/.)
Although I do my Applescripting from BBEdit worksheets it's quite possible that Do shell script might do pretty much the same thing. But what are you going to do with an established ssh session? Do shell script invokes a new instance of sh(ell) each time it's called. The chance of executing a remote command is nil.
