Anyone know of any scriptable asynchronous communication tools?

The closest so-far appears to be Kermit. It’s been around since CP/M, but apparently there’s still no centralised language reference and the syntax predates Perl.

    I used expect a lifetime ago to reliably talk to a bunch of very strange ISDN modems.

    https://www.tcl.tk/man/expect5.31/expect.1.html

    I think something like expect also exists for more modern languages, but tcl is still easy enough to learn (just a little unusual, everything is a string)

      That’s several recommendations for expect. I’ll start digging. Thank you.
