Hi. I am looking for a simple program to do the login
negotiations for auto-starting slip on machine-boot.

I have heard of a program called "expect" which
works kinda like the uucp chat script parser: ie,
it takes a sequence of receive-send strings and attempts
to carry on a startup conversation.

Does anyone know of this, and if there is a port to FreeBSD?

Thanx in advance.
