- <p><li><b>#</b> All lines starting with a <b>#</b> are ignored, as are wholly blank lines.
- <p><li><b>timeout</b> followed by a number is the number of seconds to wait for a command
- to complete. If there is no <b>timeout</b> specified in the script then the default is 60 seconds.
- <P><li><b>abort</b> is a regular expression containing one or more strings to look for to abort a
- connection. This is a perl regular expression and is executed ignoring case.
- <p><li><b>connect</b> followed by <b>ax25</b> or <b>telnet</b> and some type dependent information. In
- the case of a <b>telnet</b> connection, there can be up to two parameters, the first is the ip
- address or hostname of the computer you wish to connect to and the second is the port number you
- want to use (this can be left out if it is a normal telnet session).
- <p>In the case of an <b>ax25</b> session then this would normally be a call to <tt>ax25_call</tt>
- or <tt>netrom_call</tt> as in the example above. It is your responsibility to get your node
- and other ax25 parameters to work before going down this route!
- <p><li><b>'</b> or <b>"</b> are the delimiting characters for a <tt>chat</tt> type script. They normally
- come in pairs, either can be empty. Each line reads input from the connection until it sees the string
- (or perl regular expression) contained in the left hand string. If the left hand string is empty then
- it doesn't read or wait for anything. The comparison is done ignoring case.
- <p>When the left hand string has found what it is looking (if it is) then the right hand string is
- sent to the connection.
