-
- Try AmiConnect from Aminet. It got me started :)
- Now I only use AmiTCP 4.2 and PPP.device1.45. both registered :)
- AmiConnect can be found as amiconnect.lha in comm/tcp.

-
- This is an Environment Variable which you can set by using
- 'setenv HOSTNAME cuci.nl'.
- you should replace cuci.nl with the part of your emailaddress
- that follows the '@' sign :)

- I have also never heard of this. I think. :)

-
- When I started I could only get mail. Then I used AmiConnect and
- everything worked fine.
- After finding out what AmiConnect did what I have forgotten I wrote
- my own script and am now using only AmiTCP and PPP.device. :)
