-
- You have to get a proper Amitcp package and set it up.
-
- AmiTCP-demo-40.lha comm/tcp 738K 70+TCP/IP protocol stack
-
- This is the old and trusty one on Aminet.
-
- You also have to made an agreement with a internet-provider to get a
- email-address and a password.
-
- You don't said which country you are from but try to get Amiga Shopper.
- This contains a lot of tips and the latest number 62 go through the installation of amitcp.
-

- > from them in terms of type of service?
-
- Just full and reliable internet-access is enough.
-
- Then, what do i need in terms of settingup a web browser?
-
- Try Aweb from aminet, it doesn't need MUI and is stable. But you can't do so much as
- with IBrowse.
-
- > But i think you need Amitcp/ip for it and i cant get Amitcp to work(I
- > dont even know if im running it properly)
-
- I use ppp.device to establish connection with modem.
-
- PPP1_45.lha comm/net 111K 60+SANA-II PPP.device evaluation version
-
- From aminet of course.
-
- ping is a small program in amitcp:bin that checks connection.
-
- EX:
-
- ping localhost ; this call yourself and this should work :-)
- ping ftp.luth.se ; this call a domain in scandinavia.
-
- You get some timing-info if the connection is ok. Use then ctrl-c.
-
- You can also make an agrrement and borrow an account from a friend who has a working connection.
-
- You just need his username and password. If the provider use PPP use it!
- Then create a login script like this:
-
- TIMEOUT 1500
- REDIAL "BUSY"
- REDIALDELAY 100
- SEND "AT&F1L1S11=60"
- WAIT "OK"
- SEND "ATDT035-2604900"
- WAIT "CONNECT"
- WAIT "Username:"
- SEND "s-27040"
- WAIT "Password:"
- SEND "xxx-xx-x"
- WAIT "Swipnet>"
- SEND "ppp default"
-
