- Hi all.
- I used the VARKNET disk set to install my PPP account and with a little
- editing, I was able to get Amosaic to work just fine ( :) ). Anyhoos I am
- having a bit of a problem with my server as he is a TIA type, whatever that
- really means. I installed this once before on another system and it worked
- jsut fine but with this system, for some reason I have nothing but
- problems. The techie's at this site are not much help. I have a dyanmic PPP
- account with an IP address of 204.50.61.2
-
- Problem number one... grapevine won't load up, is says that the
- socket.library is not setup(it is) and also it is looking for INET: which I
- don't have and can't seem to find any reference anywhere. I have an older
- version and amybe should get a newer version if there is one but I assume
- that this will still be a problem.
-
- Probem number two... newsgroups period, I have tried out MNews and have
- actually got it to start to scan the groups but after over 11,000 I run out
- of memory. I am not even sure if there is any easier way of browsing thru
- the groups. Any suggestions on this??? The host name(?) is called
- news.ark.com...
-
- Problem number three... Mail seems to be a bit of a problem, it is spooled
- at their end under my name only. Tried Airmail and it will get it but then
- it is one big message. I just got AmiPOP and will be trying to see if that
- gets it but then I will have to find something to read it. I have been
- dl'ing like mad and filling up my harddrdive with all these programs.
- yuck....
-
- Problem number four... It is not a real problem just don't understand it
- very well. On my shell that comes up there a few things that come up and I
- don't understand them. Why do I have to type my password in again, it is
- supposed to send it first thru the script? I get two localhost: bad
- value's, I changed one in the db/hosts to 204.50.61.2 nameserver.
-
- Problem number five... I wish I could dial more than one phone number as
- this site has four. I just don't know enough to do it myself. Here is a
- copy of the one I am using.....
-
- ECHO ON
- TIMEOUT 1500
- REDIAL "BUSY"
- ABORT "NO CARRIER", "NO DIALTONE"
- DELAY 100
- SEND "AT&D0"
- WAIT "OK"
- DELAY 5
- SEND "ATDT 4681915"
- WAIT "CONNECT"
- WAIT "ogin:"
- SEND "pilot"
- WAIT "assword:"
- SEND "*****"
-
-
- Also here is a copy of my startnet script...
-
- online devs:networks/ppp.device 0
-
- ; log in
- echo
- echo login: pilot
- AmiTCP:bin/login -f pilot
- AmiTCP:bin/umask 022
- AmiTCP:AmiTCP
- WaitForPort AMITCP
- ; Configure loop-back device
- AmiTCP:bin/ifconfig lo0 localhost
- ; Configure ppp0
- ;AmiTCP:bin/ifconfig ppp0 {IPADDRESS} 0.0.0.0
- AMiTCP:bin/ifconfig ppp0 $ppp0iplocal $ppp0ipremote
- ; Add route to this host
- ;AmiTCP:bin/route add {IPADDRESS} localhost
- AMiTCP:bin/route add $ppp0iplocal localhost
- AMiTCP:bin/route add default $ppp0ipremote
- ;setenv HOSTNAME `AmiTCP:bin/hostname`
- Assign TCP: Exists > NIL:
- run AmiTCP:bin/inetd >NIL:
- IF Warn
- Mount TCP: from AmiTCP:devs/Inet-Mountlist
- EndIf
-
- runback AmiTCP:bin/mbwatch start logtime 10
-
- run >NIL: AmiTCP:bin/CLChatServer
-
-
- I am trying to get mbwatch to clock my time as there seems to be no other
- program I can find. Any help in this would also be nice.
-
- Thanks in advance to any or all that help me.... :)
