- Dialin.readme version 1.0 by Alex Tucker -- alex@warp.demon.co.uk
-
- This program is derived from P.J.Rovero's SLIPUP.REXX, specifically for use
- with Demon Internet Services. The program uses ARexx & the rexxserdev.library
- to dial up, log in, and start AmiTCP.
-
- At the moment, the program does minimal error checking, and does not return
- until a valid login is performed. Feel free to hack away at the code, I did.
-
- Installation:
-
- Edit the beginning of the program and put in your password, machine name
- and serial preferences.
-
- Copy the program to rexx: or somewhere in your path
-
- Copy rexxserdev.library to libs:
-
- With AmiTCP installed, make sure that AmiTCP:bin/startnet is in your path.
- Also make sure that the baud rate in dialin.rexx matches the one in
- ENV:SANA2/slip?.config.
-
- Edit AmiTCP:bin/stopnet, (AmiTCP v2.3) and add the line:
-
- rx dialin.rexx hangup
-
- Make sure the script bit is set for start/stopnet i.e.
-
- protect AmiTCP:bin/(start|stop)net +s
-
- Operation:
-
- From the shell, type:
-
- rx dialin
-
- You can add a project icon, with default tool = rx, to access the script
- via workbench.
-
- To break the connection, type:
-
- stopnet
-
- which should hopefully quit AmiTCP and hangup the line.
-
- Included files:
-
- dialin.rexx
- dialin.readme
- rexxserdev.library
- rexxserdev.doc
-
- The rexxserdev.library can be found on AmiNet:util/rexx/rxser501.lha
