1.) To register just do 'start dialip' you don't need debug or the
dialipex example to register.
The registration window should come up and cover the whole desktop and
not let itself be closed for 30 seconds. Wait 30 seconds then I think the right
of 2 buttons will become usable.
You can still open the window list by Ctrl-Esc.
Do this and open my email with the reg. info.
Copy the 4 lines 1 at a time to the full screen dialip reg. window.
You have to keep going back and forth because dialip is full screen.
After you fill all 4 lines in, hit the register button I think it says.
It should turn green.
Exit out of dialip and go back in and you should be registered.
2.) When registration works close dialip and come back in.
3.) A TRICKY ERROR I SEE:
On the connect screen this file: D:\MPTN\ETC\dialipex.rsp
saves your connection setttings. If you use dialipex as a
template, whatever name you save your main settings to, you
want to change this *.rsp file name to also or you will overwrite dialipex.rsp.
Speeding up the get mail process:
=================================
In the file x:\mptn\etc\hosts
you should have at least one entry; the IP address of your machine.
Unless you are connecting to some kind of network you can make up a
number like the following:
192.9.200.1 stanhome stanhome.towianski.agn.net
--------------------
You want at least this one line in this file.
The important field I added to get the speed is the 'stanhome.towianski.agn.net'
after the 'stanhome'. In your case stanhome would be the hostname you
gave your machine. This is done thru tcpcfg. To find out what it is
now type 'set hostname' put that in place of stanhome (both places).
Now instead of .towianski.agn.net you want to put the domain name your
ISP gave you to use. If you are using Advantis this would probably be '.ibm.net'
Your IP address you also set in tcpcfg. Therefore your line in
x:\mptn\etc\hosts would be something like:
192.9.200.1 mikespc mikespc.ibm.net
