I am looking for a program that will dial another computer system, and by following a script, interact with the remote system as though it were a human user. For example, the program could call up a local hobby computerized bulletin board system and deposit or retrieve messages. At each point in the dialogue, the program would know how to respond if a certain message is received; in this way, error conditions and actions could be anticipated. If the program got a reply it did not know how to handle, it could generate a file containing the entire session and notify the requesting (human) user. Has anybody written such a program that they'd be willing to release? Thanks, Phil Karn BTL Murray Hill
