- I found that with AmiTCP 4.0demo I had to add two lines to the startnet script
- to copy the environment variables ppp0IPRemote and ppp0IPLocal to evv-archive:
- so they survived the warm boot. This is with a dynamic connection of course.
- However I now use commercial AmiTCP V4.2 and this is not necessary anymore. So
- if you are using AmiTCP 4.0demo and a dynamic PPP connection try it and see if
- it works. Just add the lines towards the end of the script as ppp0IPRemote and
- ppp0IPLocal are created by AmiTCP during the logon process.
