- I got Dynamic IP to run but strange enogh when I log in Bootp (or whatever)

- Of course it does. You have to call the Dial slip and then it calls flawlessly.
- From my Provider.conf:
-
- <snip>
- Set WaitForTimeout 30
- retries = 10
-
- call Dial
-
- Status "Waiting for login prompt..."
- <snap>

-
- I earlier used IPDial to log in and now I have "translated" the login script
- to ARexx. Only log off does not seem to work (it seems serial set up does
- not work as described in the "Readme First" file).

-
- You have to use startnet SRV so that the LOOPBACK works (try ping localhost,
- it should not work if you omit the SRV switch). I personally would prefer
- though that it would work by default.
