- I am presently connected to the Internet via Netcom using a non shell account
- (ix server). You might look into an installer script on the Aminet called
- iINST152.lha. If you have already established the account, this script will
- take care of sprinkling the files (PPP,AmiTCP and so on) throughout your HD
- for an automatic hook-up. To get a PPP connection the server looks for a #
- before the username in the PPP dial script (iINST takes that into account).
- My connection is *VERY* reliable and fast too. No complaints.
