I suspect the concept of "script" here was a control file of commands
(dial/send/expect/delay/capture/etc.) not just a log of the session.
Kermit has a script command that is useful for logging in automatically
but it needs a little work to handle a complete session unless the other
end also has a kermit (main problem is the max length of time it will
wait for an expected response).

It would be nice if cu would let you execute things that look like
Dialer scripts at arbitrary times.
