I've never gotten around to sorting out a good solution for this (although I was discussing it with someone only today). You can execute programs from your chat script and could theoretically write a script that displayed the last few lines of the ppp log and then prompt for something to echo to stdout (which gets picked back up by ppp). Check the man page for details on ``!'' commands in the chat script.... it'll need a bit of experimentation though. I think the correct solution is something more along the lines of connecting with pppctl, setting local chat logging and having some facility in the chat script for waiting for a ``send-chat'' command to be executed from elsewhere.... the prompt will display the conversation as it happens, and when the secureid is figured out, you can ``send-chat whatever''. Do you think this sort of thing might be appropriate ? > Steve Gailey > Metronome Solutions Ltd. -- Brian , , Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour....
