chat

The chat utility handles modem connections for use with PPP. See chat(1M), pppd(1M) and pppstart(1M) for more details.

In order to use chat, you must first embed the chat process into the ChorusOS system image.

   ChorusOS configuration | ChorusOS System Image Configuration | Applications | Application file

3. Click on Application File with the right-hand mouse button and select New Element.

4. Double-click on the Empty file which appears in the Application File. A new window opens in Ews.

5. Click twice on the Value cell next to Reference in this window, then click on the button marked "..." which appears on its right hand side. This opens a window entitled Select a Reference.

6. Select chat from the list of options in the Select a Reference window.

7. Close the Select a Reference window, then select file | save in the Ews graphic configuration tool to save the new settings.
