Other.tellme:When you have your configuration sorted out, please send details of your provider to me at colin@nyphot.demon.co.uk so that I may include them in the next release.
Other.tellme2:The details you have already given are in the file !NetConfig.Provider; I will also need the SLIPdial login sequence and a list of your provider's Points of Presence (phone numbers). Many thanks.
