Forwarding this mail to Linux-india-help please. ---VK
I'm running Slackware 7.0 on a Compaq Aero 4/33C Laptop.( 486SX/33MHz/163MB/4MB!). I use this setup for fetch/sendmail and it works quite nicely. For dialup I'm using a simple chatscript. I'd like to make this process intelligent enough to get around busy numbers, changes in the server responses like prompts and permit an interactive login. A possible solution exists in the form of a named pipe/FIFO through which chat can communicate to an interactive script and thus to the user. Could someone please tell me how exactly a FIFO is used. I'm sure this problem has been tackled before and if there's another solution I'll be glad to have it. Thanks in advance.
