Under Xenix 3.0 Lisa w/Priam and a Racal-Vadic VA3451 (ASCII-controlled
modem), the following works OK.  IT IS NOT HAYES COMPATIBLE, but the
method I use only requires that the modem not abort dialing if input
is received.  A VA3451 pulse dials, so uucico was timing out even on
local calls.  Of course, the entire script should be in L.sys as one
line without comments and a ^M is really the single character control-M.


somesys Any tty0a 1200 0	/* for machine somesys, Any time, use port
				tty0a at 1200 baud, direct connect */
*-^E-*-I-*-^E-* D MBER? 1234567 4567 ^M		/* send control-E until the
				* indicating command mode comes along, then
				give number, expect it to be echoed back,
				then give control-M to make dialing begin */
LINE--LINE--LINE--LINE		/* Here's the part you want.  VA3451 reports
				ON LINE when carrier detected.  So just keep
				sending a RETURN until we are ON LINE.  If
				your uucico goes through three timeouts
				before carrier detect, put more --LINE on
				here.  You can't do this if your modem
				aborts dialing when you send it a RETURN. */
