Yes, I am a newbie, to unix. Here is what I am trying to do. I want to dial out on a modem, connected to cuaa1. Nothing fancy, not to connect to PPP or anything, just straight ascii. I need it to look for prompts and answer them, and then log off. Just looking around I thought that chat might be the answer. I have tried it with no luck. It looks like it is using standard out/in instead of the modem line. If anyone can help or recommend another utility, I would appreciate it. Allen Hyer West Texas Rural Telephone
