- I have Mosaic working on the umn slip server. I started out using the
- SLIP batch file with the DIAL parameter to do my dialing to the slip
- server, I then started up Trumpet Winsock at reasonable leasure. I now
- use the scripting capabilities of Winsock to do the dialing for me. I
- modified the login.cmd script until I got it to work. I can mail my script
- file to you if you would like.
