Use the `term' command to figure out how to get past the login: and password: prompts, then try enabling `chat' logging to ensure that your chat script is doing the same thing. > Thanks in advance for your help. > > -- > Mark Ovens *====================================* > CNC Apps Engineer | One of the main causes of the fall | > Radan Computational Ltd | of the Roman Empire was, that | > mailto:marko@uk.radan.com | lacking a zero, they had no way of | > | indicating the successful | > | termination of their C programs | > *====================================* -- Brian , , Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour....
