Hi all.

Wanting to use my modem's speaker phone ability more and more, and
being annoyed by the fact that I'm only able to locate speaker phone
applications that run under x, I decided to write a very simple, and
down to earth bash script speaker phone, which will take command line
arguments, and use the chat program, calling the appropriate chat
script. 

However, I'm running into a minor problem. How do I redirect stdin and
stdout to /dev/modem, instead of having them tied to the tty, when I
run chat? When pppd runs chat before it establishes the ppp link, it
is already set to do i/o to the modem, so this isn't an issue for
pppd. If someone has suggestions on how to do this, please
share. Thanks.

Greg
