Kermit has a scripting language that includes a uucp-like string of "expect", "send" sequences as well as explicit input and output commands with delays and timeouts. It is usable for just about anything where you can predict the points where you can wait for one or more strings. That is, you can't just give it some patterns to match and functions to execute whenever it sees them. Les Mikesell les@mcs.com
