Anyone know of any scriptable asynchronous communication tools?

The closest so-far appears to be Kermit. It’s been around since CP/M, but apparently there’s still no centralised language reference and the syntax predates Perl.

    Kermit, as you mentioned. You could probably use expect as well. But like I said, if the connection is simple but the conversation complex, you might just write it all yourself and save the time you’ll spend fighting Kermit or whatever to get it to do what you want.
