	So if chat is a good, probably even superior, tool to do
this:

	a) why is there no sample section in the Handbook like there
		is for Kermit?  I'm only using Kermit because the
		scripts were available.

	b) does someone have a working script+instructions they'd be
		willing to post?  I've looked at the documentation for
		chat and it is, well, feeble.  Kermit may be clumsy,
		but I can hack the dial script _without_ looking at
		other documentation.

	Thanks.
