Excuse me, but *what*?

This sounds like something that's already built-in to slattach.

slattach -a -h -r /etc/sliphome/dial -s 115200 cuaa1

Where /etc/sliphome/dial is:
#!/bin/sh
#
#
# This program uses the chat program to (re)dial and connect back up to the
# SLIP host

PHONE=1234567
USER=Slipuser
PASSWORD=secret
DEVICE=cuaa1
 
# XXX - As it stands now, we try to dial the remote site every 10 seconds
# or so until it answers.  It would be better to have an exponential
# backoff algorithm, but this way is much easier to write and guarantees
# a connection as soon as one is available.

# Wait just a little for the line to settle down
sleep 10

(if chat -v ABORT "NO CARRIER" ABORT BUSY "" ATZ1 OK ATM0 OK ATDT$PHONE CONNECT 
"" ogin: $USER ssword: \\q$PASSWORD
then
    exit 0
else
    exit 1
fi
) < /dev/$DEVICE > /dev/$DEVICE


Is this what you are looking for?
