Oops. Not *quite* as simple. I forgot part of the process. That script
only moves files around. The command to log on for me is:
'dial.whatever;pon' - it is the 'pon' script which does the logging on.
To log off I enter 'poff'. I have the process automated by using 9menu
and asmodem in Window Maker. I click on the asmodem icon and get a menu
of possible ISPs. Selecting one runs the appropriate dial.whoever script
and then does 'pon'. Subsequently clicking on the modem runs 'poff'.
