3: Introduction:
4: ------------
5:
6: Xchat is a general-purpose dialing and login program designed for use
7: with Taylor UUCP as a "chat-program", taking the place (or augmenting)
8: the built-in chat scripting facility. It provides the ability to
9: closely control timeouts, multiple simultaneous expect strings with
10: separate actions, extended terminal control, modem command character
11: pacing, and more.
12:
13: When used in conjunction with Taylor UUCP's configuration features,
14: xchat can provide you the ability to manage the most intricate login,
15: dial and hangup needs. The scripts are written in a shell-like (well,
16: sort-of) style with labels, commands, and parameters, easing the task
17: of writing procedures for complex terminal communications situations.
