There are three versions (that I know of, could be more) of Chameleon's dialup connectivity package floating around. One of them can ONLY do scripted logins if the site uses login: and Password:. That one either requires manual logins, or a system like BSDI's preferred default of a P before the userid. It can also do PAP, but that's a whole 'nother set of complaints. :-) (BTW, the Chameleon version I'm thinking of is, I believe, the one that comes in "Internet for Windows for Dummies Starter Kit" and has a $15 registration fee. It includes the web browser and FTP, but doesn't have some of the minor apps like the Talk client, if I remember correctly.)
