- On or about 03-Mar-96 12:57:13 Gene Heskett typed the following words about
- "Re: Good Dialup program for AmiTCP?". My reply is thus...
-
- Hi Gene,
-
-
- HJM>> on the other hand do not understand the former and the later
-
- HJM>> Thanks in advance
-
- GH> SlipCall crashed me too, unless I had segtracker/enforcer running. I
- GH> couldn't afford the paper to log the hits, nor the performance hit
- GH> that caused. Ergo, I *had* to fix Dailup since my ISP never woke up
- GH> on the first cr transmitted, and got it baud rates all messed up if
- GH> I sent a string of them.
-
- GH> Get the exact syntax of the commands from the system folks at the U.,
- GH> or record them as a macro in a term proggy while doing a manual login,
- GH> then plug them into the correct vars in the dialup line and go.
-
- GH> Bear in mind that dialup only parses the rest of the line in your
- GH> script that its called on, therefore when editing this script, you
- GH> *must* turn off any automatic linefeeds/word-wrappers your editor
- GH> might do. That single line could be 300+ characters long!
-
- GH> I am on a system that doesn't use PAP/CHAP, does use kerboros, and is
- GH> PPP only. Here is the script I feed it from a toolmanager button.
-
- GH> FAILAT 21
- GH> c:dialup RPF=CON:420/270/270/200/DialUp/CLOSE/INACTIVE LOT=10 SCF=RAM:Env
- GH> IF "$SLIPCARRIER" EQ "ON"
- GH> Amitcp:bin/StartNet
- GH> ELSE
- GH> AmiTCP:bin/StopNet Flush
- GH> ENDIF
- GH> -eof-
-
- GH> That 'Dialup' line is 276 characters long.
-
- GH> See the "y..d\r2\r" which is part of the transmitted password above,
- GH> the '2' is the actual 'PPP' trigger in this case since my site
- GH> presents a 1 to 10 menu after the password is validated. The '2' is
- GH> the start PPP option on that menu.
-
- GH> Note too that I've used some abreviations in that line. Not all of
- GH> the variable names used in DialUp have abreviations available, so
- GH> consult the docs for the exact abreviation to use if there is one
- GH> available for that item.
-
- GH> As explained in the 3.06 docs, the only thing I changed was the WUS
- GH> treatment, that * in there now causes a 1/4 second delay so the autobaud
- GH> routines at the server don't get so confused. All I can say is Read
- GH> the manual, paying attention to one item at a time. Its very easy to
- GH> get lost in that forest, I've done it myself many times! 8-(
-
- GH> Cheers

- Are you using ppp.device. If you are why not use the built in diler. It works
- great.
