alternatives to minicom

[Mark Szidik]

Anybody able to recommend alternatives to Minicom?  I cant seem
to get it to work in a cron job.

I have an expect script to dial out and do a bunch of stuff on
another system.  It works fine when I run the script from the
command line, but I get an error when it runs under cron:

spawn minicom
No cursor motion capability (cm)

Can minicom be run via cron?  If not, what other dialer programs
for Linux can I use?


Thanks,
