Is the source code of chat program (used for dialog with modem) open? If it is so, where can I find it? I've been trying find it, but no success.

Source: git://git.ozlabs.org/~paulus/ppp.git
Homepage: http://ppp.samba.org/

How to find it yourself next time:

  • Find the package containing the command. On Debian and its derivatives e.g.

    dpkg -S /full/path/to/chat` or `apt-file search bin/chat`

  • If necessary, find a more detailed description of the program, e.g. 

    apt-cache show ppp

  • Feed your favourite search engine with homepage [packagename | Description]

    apt-file does not require the full path. bin/chat is perfectly fine if one does not know whether the binary is located in /usr/bin/, /sbin/, /usr/sbin/, etc.
