13.1. chat

The chat utility handles modem connections for use with PPP. See chat(1M), pppd(1M) and pppstart (1M) for more details.

In order to use chat, you must first embed the chat process into the C5 system image.

Procedure 13.1. Embedding the chat process into the C5 system image

  1. In the build directory, edit the conf/mkimage/applications.xml file

  2. Add the chat reference in file list:

                 <type name='FileList'/>
               <value index='size'><ref name='chat' /></value>

  3. You must now build or re-build the C5 system image:
