Well, I won't disagree with your opening statement about the quality of
that fix; the only way the replace strings will break is if your
name or password contains a character which breaks sed. "'" or '"'
would be the only ones that I think would be a problem (or "/"
when it is the seperator).

Making sure that the chat script does the right ping-ponging IS EXACTLY
THE RIGHT THING TO DO!!!!! It's "<expect>" "<send>". Also, an
expect of "" means jsut send the send part.

Take care,
