-
- Hmmm...RTFM :<) :<). ppp.device has a built in dialer. It works like a charm.
- The DIALSCRIPT contains the login sequence for your ISP. CD prevents the
- ppp.device from trying to redial if the modem is still on line. That way if
- you have a crash you can reboot and reestablish your connection without
- redialing and reloging in. Just set the modem to ignore DTR and you won't
- loose your connection when you reboot.

- TB> IPDial AmiTCP:Bin/pti.logon << this is my IPDial script
-
- Then you don't need the above line in your startnet script.
-
- TB> online devs:networks/ppp.device 0
- ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- This line does it all.
