I started writing a scripting language for it and got distracted by
looking at the Unix one, expect(?).  I'll get back to it eventually or someone
else should do it.  Then we could have standard scripts for different
ISP's and avoid a lot of typing.

I'm personally getting quite sick of typing "atdt<number>^M", (and
sometimes getting it wrong) and then having to participate in

ISP.  Has anyone given any thought as to how this should be
automated?
