Hello,

In the GOD of modems and PPP I was used to use chat to talk and
initialize modems based on some send/expect scripts...

I would like to use the same logic of such script to talk to a remote
server (IP+port) which understands commands in text and does respond
with text.

Any idea before hacking the C-code of chat(1)?

Thanks

	matthias
