- Alex,
- I have set up my A1200 in the exact same manner as you did
- (i.e. with AmiTCP v4.0, PPP v1.3 (registered) and I used the
- iNTERiNSTALL script). It sounds to me from the way that you
- describe your problem is that you did not properly set up a
- COM file for the iNTERiNSTALL program before you ran it.
- Sounds as though you got the phone number right, since your modem
- connects. You should check your ppp0.dialscript file (I think
- that's what it's called, but not sure) to make sure that you
- have your proper login name and password in there.
