I am trying to get uucp set up to call a mail-forwarder machine.  The problem
is that my uucp package (Mac/gnuucp) has documentation on how to get the
program to login with a direct-connect, but not a multi-level connect.

What I mean is my directions tell me what to put in L.sys if the expected
sequence of characters incoming from the modem is

CONNECT 2400
login:

My situation is that I have to CONNECT, then choose a machine, then i get
the login prompt.  The conversation would look like below, where what my
uucp needs to type is delimited by "=" characters (and an implied return
at the end ...)

CONNECT 2400
Local>>=connect alamo=
  Connecting ...  (113.89.4.1 7.13) Success.
alamo login: =uucp=
Password:=uucp_password=

So, eventually I DO need to look for the login prompt, but first I need to
find Local>>, then select the machine, then look for login:, then give the
login name and password.

Will someone tell me how to do this or send some documentation, or tell me
where i can ftp the documentation?

				Thanks,
