I have to wait for a connect message because I have to hit return twice
after connecting, and then I have to specifically connect to my computer
science (unix) account. I can't simply set it at a specific delay, because
sometimes the server's modem will ring several (up to 5) times without
answering.

In addition, I am also using SLiRP rather than SLIP (not provided by my
college), so I have to wait until I am completely logged on and then run
the program.

 Depending upon the modem intiailization I choose, the modem connect
message will be different, but here's what it will normally look like--
a : prompt shows stuff I do).

At this point, I would only need to run the program (UNIX/SLIRP.F/slirp)
and I would be ready to go. Unfortunately, I cannot get past the connect
script.


Thanks for any help that people can give me.

Thanks in advance,
