The 'dip' program for Unix clones was written to facilitate scripts like these. You create a script which transmits commands to the modem and looks for responses. The pppd program also has this capability. Attached is a sample dip script used for one of the connections here, in this case a dedicated line which doesn't need dialing (adding the dialing dialog is pretty simple, just put it in at any point before the 'mode CSLIP' line). Questions? Look for the dip docs in Slackware, or get the source kit from ftp://ftp.pn.com/pub/linux/comm/dip337-uri.tgz. Frustrated with your X link at 14.4? Send a SASE to Ann Landers care of this newspaper for her tips on preventing premature hair loss. ;-) -rich # SLIP setup for kr.com -- DIP script port cua5 speed 38400 get $remote 199.4.187.130 get $local pioneer.ci.net get $mtu 1064 default mode CSLIP
