I tried to use the script "AUTOLOG" that is availiable for TELIX that
records a login sequence, then complies a script from it using telix's
SALT language.  It basically uses the "if(waitfor "<string>").  
I encountered a problem though, as my system at school displays the "tty"
terminal number when i login.  For example, the prompt I see when i Log in is:

  (ttyxx) Login: 

  where the xx's represent the tty that my modem uses on that particular
  call. the problem is that those xx's are not identically the same every
  time i log in, thus the "if (waitfor <string>" does not recognize this.
  Is anyone familiar enough with the SALT language to suggest a fix??
  I tried looking for a way to have the autolog script scan over the 
  "ttyxx" part, and just look for the "login:" part, but I cant figure it
  out. 
  I know this is not a BIG deal to have a autologin script to answer a
  few prompts, but I was board, I tried to do it just for kicks and could
  not do it, and now, I guess Im one of those people that just can't let
  it go....  and im FRUSTRATED!
