What it is

A connect script is a way of automating a manual dial attemot. For example, when you dial manually, you issue the dial command ("atdt the phone number and hit "return"), then wait for the screen to say "xxx-xxx Login:" and then type the userid. After you hit return, it will ask you for a password. When you type that in and hit return, you're in.

The connect script tells the dialler to "wait until to see a specific text string, then send the text string I tell you to send". You do this once for the userid, once for the password, and that's it. It's a bit slower than standard authenticating via Password Authentication Protocol (PAP), but every now and then, that's just what's needed.
