- I use a REXX script to dial with (a friend wrote that) and it
- is set to dial, give my name and password, send a SLIP command,
- retreive the IPs and start the STARTNET after giving me all the
- information. Still if you can SLIP but you wanna see what IP you
- have because you forgot or something, from a shell type:
-
- AMITCP:BIN/PING $HOSTNAME
-
- That will work because when you configured the AmiTCP the ENV:
- variable HOSTNAME was set to whatever you gave it at that time
- and it will be like that until you reconfig. the TCP. Now every
- type you STARTNET it ROUTEs that HOSTNAME to LOCALHOST so it has
- to be there.
