- >what is amiconnect? is it an alternative to dialer.device?
- I don't know what dialer.device is. Amiconnect is a dialer script. (is that
- what you meant?) I just switched over to a PPP acount after having a slip
- account. After trying to figure those dialers out for almost 1 year, I looked
- at amiconnect because I had liked the same author's Control Panel. It's a
- point and click way to start all your Net stuff from a single Control Panel.
- Anyway, Amiconnect's aclogonscript makes it very easy. You can even use a text
- editor and type in your prompts. If you set you password and user name in
- aclogonscript it overides the other settings. Very easy to use.
