I attempting to write a shell ( ksh ) to setup an auto term connection.
Writing to the modem is simple enough :
echo -ne "at\r" > dev/modem
But my problem is reading from /dev/modem ( /dev/cua1 ). Grepping /dev/modem
is out of the question since /dev/modem since grep expects EOF ( ctrl^z )
Any shell script wizards out there :)
Thanks in advance for any help
