Lets say theoretically that you have a modem server, and you wanted that
modem server to dial a number at a certain time of day.  Now lets say
that you wanted it to do this only five day's a week.  Now I see where
cron fits into this but what would be the best way to get the modem to
dial (doesn't have to start ppp, slip or send a fax).  I've tried
sending the modem a command directly:
Echo atdt 9,5555555,,,223 > /dev/ttyR5
That didn't work but then again it's Monday and my mind isn't
functioning properly (yes worse than normal).  Any thoughs???
