WestNet went from scripted log-in to Password Authentication

like this:
# wait till it's safe to send because some modem's hang up
# if you transmit during the connection phase
#
wait 30 dcd
- Delete everything after the line that reads wait 30 dcd. That should
now be the last line of your script.
- Click on the 'File' menu, and select the 'Save' option.
