- Silly me, read the manual first! To do slip with bootp, load the file
- amitcp:db/Provider.conf into your favorite editor, do the following:
-
- 1) delete the command ManualConsole and replace it with ShowConsole
- 2) add the line 'call Dial' after ShowConsole
- 3) add the line 'ManualConsole'
-
- that's it! Of course this will require you to log in to your provider
- and activate the slip or ppp service manually. For those of you who
- like to automate that, do the following:
-
- 1) after call Dial, add the line
- WaitFor "Username: "
- or whatever your provider asks for the login.
- 2) add the line
- SendLn "YourUserNameHere"
- 3) add
- WaitFor "Password: "
- SendLn "YourPasswordHere"
- WaitFor ">"
- (or whatever prompt you get after you successfully logged in)
- SendLn "slip default"
- (or whatever is needed to get slip to work)
-
- that's it. Do not add ManualConsole. AmiTCP will then start bootpconfig
- and send the BOOTP command to get connection information. Once you have
- everything working you might even get rid of the 'ShowConsole' command
- so you don't have to see the login info. It's works well and fast, at
- least for me. I like it!
-
- Now I still can't get my daemons to work. Also, napsaterm doesn't seem
- to support TEK anymore, which was one of the best features for me about
- it. I guess I'll go back to reading the manual and see if it's there
- before I email NSDi to complain and whine. :)
-
- But so far I'm encouraged with this new released!
