Send a file .txt for example.
exit minicom.

I saw on the network command "expect" but I have not undarstand how to launch minicom and give it commands to set the right port ..

thanks for help

I don't have a modem now (left it in Antarctica believe it or not), so it is hard to test/script this for you, but Corona is certainly right that you would not use minicom.

PPPD comes with 'chat' which is a good way to do the initial parts of opening connection. I would use that. Again, untested:

Code:

exec 3<&1 >"$modem" <"$modem"
stty 115200 clocal ...etc...
if chat -v -s 'AT+CREG OK ATopencmd CONNECT'; then
   echo "error setup modem" >&2
   exit 1
fi
cat file
echo "done" >&3

installsieve

INSTALLSIEVE(1) 					      General Commands Manual						   INSTALLSIEVE(1)

NAME

       installsieve - user utility for managing sieve scripts

SYNOPSIS

       installsieve

DESCRIPTION

       installsieve is a utility that allows users to manage their sieve scripts kept on the server.

OPTIONS

       -v <name> View script with the given name. The script if retrieved sucessfully is output to standard output.

       -l  List  all  of  the scripts currently on the server. If one of the scripts is active a arrow is printed indicating that it is the active
       script.

       -p <port> Port to connect to. If left off this defaults to "sieve" as defined in /etc/services.

       -i <file> Install a file onto the server. If a script with the same name already exists on the server it is overwritten.  Upon  sucessfully
       putting	the  script on the server the script is set active. If <file> has the extension .script it is chopped when put on the server since
       sieve names may not contain a '.'.

       -a <name> Set <name> as the active script. The list of available names can be obtained from the '-l' option..

       -d <name> Delete the sieve script on the server with <name>.

       -m <mechanism> Force installsieve to use <mechanism> for authentication. If not specified the strongest authentication mechanism is chosen.

       -g <name> Get the sieve script with <name> and save it to disk with a ".script" extension. If a file with that name already  exists  it	is
       overwritten.

       -u <user> Userid/Authname to use for authentication; by default, the current user.
