Jeff You can use kermit scripts or tip. Send me mail if you want an example kerit script. expect and other utilties are included with various ppp implementations. We really need a utility that will reconnect a slip line when the line hangs for various reasons. Some of that support could be written into slattach, but alot of it could be done with a perl script alone. Rich
