    Thanks. In that case, in order to make it work with ax25d, Andrew
    Bates's Perl script needs to start off like this:

       #!/usr/bin/perl
       # -- beginning of script
       # Un-buffer STDIN:
       $|=1;
       # Use AX25 EOL:
       # (Check the '$/' paragraph in 'man perlvar')
       $/="\r";

    I found that the AX25 socket gets closed as soon as the script runs
    out. The remote end gets a UI disconnect, hot on the heels of the last
    Info frame. The remote user never gets to see the result of the script.

    A graceful closedown by the remote user would fix that:

       print "Hit ENTER to quit:";
       $call = (<>);

       exit;
       # end of script

    So, it looks like it _really_ is as easy as advertised by G4KLX! I am
    now scripting a search-my-log gizmo :-)
