Hi,
Can someone tell me a niffty way to set my modem to autoanswer
in rc.local? I know the AT command is ATS0=1, but tip is interactive
( can't even use "here" files ) and chat only seesm to work in the ppp 
options file.
At this point, I don't want tp start ppp at boot up so I need a way
to set it directly.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Kirk ;)
