Hi All,
    I like to know how to do this:

output atdt55555\13
    wait for 90 OR wait for CONNECT, BUSY etc.

Basically after the output of the dial I want it to read the first
line that the modem returns and exit the input so I can process
if it was CONNECT/BUSY etc. BUT I also need it to timeout after X
seconds if nothing has been sent from the modem. So there are two exit
conditions. 1 if it gets something from the modem, and 2 exit after a
timeout.

Any ideas?

regards.
