- Yep - I had a dial-up ppp link running when I did this (ran a telnet
- session in another window).
-
- Oddly enough, I tried another package (the ftp.pl package by
- Alan R. Martello <al@ee.pitt.edu>) and this comes up with the error
-
- Cannot open ftp to gate.demon.co.uk [21]
- Couldn't open host 'gate.demon.co.uk'
-
- even though the ppp link was up.
-
- All these packages use chat2.pl - is there anything I would need to
- set up on our Sun for chat.pl to work (I've just installed chat2.pl as
- it comes in /usr/local/lib/perl).
-
- If I can't get this working, I'm going to have to use expect !! ;-)
