I'm sure there are ways to automate this, but I've never done it. However, for just plain old dialing out, it's probably easiest to use kermit. Once you connect, you can enter the username & password by hand. Then, either quit kermit (if you told your modem to ignore DTR), or just suspend it (CTRL-Z). Then run slattach, ifconfig, and you're good to go! :-) Jonathan jonathan@cc.odu.edu
