If I remember right, the xisp package (in debian/contrib) has the same functionality (nice program indeed). Greetings, joachim

Several. You could use something like expect or perl or bash instead of chat. Anything that can read stdin and write stdout will do. There is an example using expect in /usr/doc/ppp/examples/scripts/secure-card. You could also make use of the fact that recent versions of chat can read environment variables and can read passwords and such from a file or pipe. -- John Hasler [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dancing Horse Hill Elmwood, Wisconsin
Re: I need a truley interactive chat script for PPP
an easy way to do this is to dial manually with minicom and then quit without resetting the modem and manually load pppd.(not sure what the command line options wuld be though maybe somene else can assist in that area) nate On Tue, 4 Jan 2000 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Mallar >I need to connect to the mainframe from the office, and have a need for a Mallar >complex chat script.

I need a truley interactive chat script for PPP
I need to connect to the mainframe from the office, and have a need for a complex chat script. Can someone help me out? Under Win95, I have my dialout connection set to bring up a terminal window after connecting, so I can do the following: Login: Password: Challenge: abc93029 Response: [Here I take the challenge number above and key it into a card-like device. It then gives me another number I need to key in as the "response". Then I press F7 (Continue) to start the PPP session. How do I mimic this functionality in Linux? chat doesn't seem to be powerful enough. I can use SAY or REPORT to see the challenge, but chat doesn't seem to provide a way to key in a number interactively. wvdial doesn't seem to be capable of this either. Any thoughts? Thanks, Jay
