Would asking for a modem dialer be unreasonable?
Subject says pretty much everything. I've just started a new job with a ton of telnetting required. Unfortunately some of it has to be done through modem (dialup). I am planning on building packages for the sites we connect to and scripting the commands we run, complete with popup windows to show to my boss. No guarantees but I'm going to try to see if they might buy TeSSH. I will be using CMUD for the initial package creation since I'm not installing beta software on a company PC without my bosses permission, but I hope to get that permission after I show him what can be done with it.

Sorry, but I have no plans to add modem dialing. Your normal networking software in Windows should be handling the dialup stuff for you. Once your network is connected via Windows, then you can use TeSSH. So you shouldn't really need TeSSH itself to support the modem dialing.

You can load sessions from the command line, though - just drag a session icon onto the desktop and you'll be able to see the command for it. So you could conceivably write a batch command to connect you, run CMUD, and then have CMUD execute everything via the OnConnect event.

#launch could also be used,
#event onload  {
   #launch dun connection
   #wait xxxx {#connect}
}

#event onconnect {
script stuffs
}
