     Try getting a copy of GETTY (it's with UUCP V1.06 distribution). It will
answer the phone, request a login, and run whatever programme you request it
to run. This should work with a script as well (don't forget to set the script
bit - this will require V1.3, but then again, so does the rest of what you're
trying.) It will also autobaud.
     I'm not sure how Getty will handle having to share the serial port with
a command line, but it's worth a try.
                                                              - R'ykandar.
