What's the best way to script the dialing of a number and sending and
receiving a few strings?  I'm having trouble making chat work (basicallly
it drops carrier on CONNECT, see below), and would rather not use kermit,
since it hangs-up on exit, so it must remain in memory. 

I just want to dial my slip provider and log on.

Any suggestions?  (freebsd 1.1.5, btw)

chat -v "" at$INITSTRING OK < /dev/cua01 > /dev/cua01
chat -v "" atdt$PHONE CONNECT < /dev/cua01 > /dev/cua01
#dies here
sleep 3
chat -v slip name: $USER word: $WORD
