i need a small proggie to control a modem (basically hang it up). unattended.
i had one on the 540, but the code does not port, i get
(send:) AT\r
(get: ) O<timeout>
(send:) AT\r
(get: ) K\rO<timeout>
(send:) AT\r
(get: ) K\rO<timeout>

that last K of OK is not seen until the next is sent. sigh.  I immediatly tried
the dialers.c program, and while it works from under uucico/cu, it will NOT work
(try "/usr/lib/dialer ACUHAYESSMART /dev/portname 555-1212 2400" see what
i mean.....)

1) what does uucico/cu do to set up the line differently?
2) where is latest kermit-type source for an example of how to do this
   correctly?
