- startnet. There is more that has to be running than just AmiTCP and
- it will handle all of that for you. You could also try configuring a
- dialscript for PPP and then you wouldn't have to use a separate dialer
- program. When I was using the 4.0 demo I just typed startnet and
- PPP's dialer handled the connection and log-on.
-
- Here's an example ppp.dial script:
-
- TIMEOUT 2000
- REDIAL "BUSY","NO CARRIER"
- REDIALDELAY 200
- SEND "AT&F2"
- WAIT "OK"
- SEND "ATDTxxx-xxxx" <--insert your ISP's phone number instead of x's.
- WAIT "name:"
- SEND "yourusername" <--replace with your username.
- WAIT "word:"
- SEND "yourpassword" <--replace with your password.
- DELAY 200
- SEND "ppp"
-
- I keep my pp.dial file in ENV:Sana2/. Just be sure to put enter the
- dialscript into startnet using Config_AmiTCP. It should add
- DIALSCRIPT=env:sana2/ppp.dial (the full path) to the config line
- within the startnet script.
