I saw Nate Williams' message, but for some reason, I was never able to 
get chat to work on my system (but I didn't fool with it for too long).  
My problem was that as long as the slattach process existed, I could 
never open the port to talk to the modem (neither call in nor call out).  

The following is the kermit script I use:

------------- /etc/reattach.ks --------------
set take echo on
set input timeout proceed

# deconstruct old network connection: kill slattach and take sl0 down
! ps -ax|grep slattach|grep -v grep|awk '{print $1}'|xargs kill
! ifconfig sl0 down

# dial provider
set line /dev/cuaa1 
set speed 57600
set modem hayes
:dialloop
dial 4329580
xif success { -
 set speed 57600, -
 script -- mrami ord: melech54 1> slip ame: 130.132.57.207 ord: melech54 , -
 in 5 130.132.57.207, -
 xif failure {echo Failed to get 130.132.57.207!, goto dialloop} - 
} else {sleep 2, goto dialloop}

# reattach

set line
! slattach -h -c -s 57600 -r /etc/reattach /dev/ttyd1 
! ifconfig sl0 up
! logger "modem attached"

quit
------------- /etc/reattach.ks --------------

/etc/reattach simply does:

/usr/local/bin/kermit -y /etc/reattach.ks 2>&1 >/reattach.log

so when I want to connect to the net, I simply execute /etc/reattach.

Marc.
