Will leaving out the 'send' fix my password problem?

It works with pcplus or kermit and no script.  Dial, connect, you are 
asked for login, enter it manually, you are asked for password and given 
plenty of time to enter that manually.  WIth microcom you don't get any 
chance to enter the password.  Within 1 sec of asking for the password it 
tells me wrong password.    

Someone more familiar with linux/unix stopped by to see BL3, and could not 
get microcom working either.  He tried with a script.  (He had much better 
luck with the two BL2 games.)
