- I've emailed the authors and they said they'll think about it. But I've
- come up with a temporary solution. Write a script that does the
- following:
-
- amitcp:amitcp.020
- bootpconfig slip IP $HOSTIP DEST $DESTIP
- mount TCP: from amitcp:devs/inet-mountlist
- run >NIL: <NIL: inetd
-
- This should do it. The only wrinkle is that you must know what the old
- ipnumber and the connection address before you rebooted. this is the
- problem I have. I want to be able to do it automatically. If we can
- get AmiTCP to store the ip addresses after it established connection in
- some environment variable and copy it to ENVARC: then we are set.
