Thanks Mike.  I'm curious about the sequence of events here.  You look
for `x', which never arrives, then send CR, and wait for `NO CARRIER',
or so I interpret things.

That means, I presume, the the `NO CARRIER', which will generally arrive
before the timeout, will still be buffered to be read by chat.  Is this
the way it works?

Yours faithfully,
