- : I am trying to get on the WWW and here is what has happened so far -
- : (Mosaic is gone from most of Aminet - I finally found a copy of 1.2 at
- : ftp.omnipresence.com; I have an INDEX file from dec 9 that lists mosaic
- : in pub aminet comm net and as of tonight could not find it anywhere on
- : Aminet -- I did notice also that there is mosaic-20-prerelease out there
- : at the headquarters site [I should try to use that exe later])
-
- : Well, I managed to track down all the pieces (PPP,AmiTCP,Amosaic) and
- : most of the installations done but I am still running into a couple of
- : problems getting Webbed:
- : 1) When I use the s:dialscript option it fails with a timeout -
- : the script gets to AT&d0####### echos it and the next line but I
- : hear it dial and it finally times out.
- : 2) I remove the dialscript option, re-boot, and login with NCOMM (after
- : setting AT&d0), I quit from ncomm and execute startnet and it hangs out
- : for a while then fails with S2_ONLINE: Device driver is off-line
- : (unit is currently off-line) online failed returncode 10.

- Like a lot of you, I too are having problems with getting the dialer in
- ppp1_30.lha to work. Results were as you you suggest exactly.
-
- I have determined the problem to be with "serial.device" itself. It would
- appear that when something opens the serial.device with a certain setting
- it is locked that way. The thing I blame is the prefences tool Serial.
-
- As an example, I tried to get ppp0.config to dial using serial.device at
- 19200bps, and then repeated the exercise at a speed of 38400bps.
-
- The dialscript contained:
- send "ATZ"
- wait "OK"
- all I wanted was a response from the modem.
-
- At no time could I get a response from the modem. However, when I loaded
- up my terminal program, I had no problems. This would be because the
- terminal program steals the "serial.device" away from whatever it is that
- has it. This is something that the PPP1_30 dialer cannot do (at least I am
- not aware that it can).
-
- So I changed to a replacement for the serial device -- 8n1.device -- and
- retried whithout any problems whatsoever. There are other devices that
- would equally be as good.
-
- Hope this helps.
