Subject: call unix


I'm probably missing something that is quite obvious but
does anyone out there use call unix ('cu') to transfer
files to/from home ?

Call unix reads data from standerd input and, except for lines
starting with ~ (thats right, the tilde !), passes it to the remote
system. Lines starting with a tilde has special meanings. Unfortunately,
rc doesn't like this at all and (rightly so) complains about syntax
errors, etc, etc ..

Is there something I can do so that I can run cu with rc ? (what I do
now is first go into /bin/sh before invoking cu).

PS : I *have* to use cu because slip is just to slow (no ISDN (yet)
here in Amsterdam).
