Several. You could use something like expect or perl or bash instead of
chat. Anything that can read stdin and write stdout will do. There is an
example using expect in /usr/doc/ppp/examples/scripts/secure-card. You
could also make use of the fact that recent versions of chat can read
environment variables and can read passwords and such from a file or pipe.
