- This information is based on AmigaNOS 2.9i obtained by anonymous FTP from

- gate.demon.co.uk [158.152.1.65]
- /pub/amiga/setup/setupv3.lha 710906 bytes
- You may want to remove Docs/Zen and Docs/Lots_of_ftp_sites from the archive
- to make it smaller for transfer from your account to your Amiga.

- (This document is an edited version of readmeNOW!.txt from AmigaNOS/Docs.)
-
- This file is the second in a series of 3 designed to help you get SLIP
- running using AmigaNOS. The first one in the series is AmigaNOS-ask, and the
- next one in the series is AmigaNOS-help2. All three are available for
- anonymous FTP from

- NOS Set-up
- ==========
-
- Here is a brief guide to getting AmigaNOS set up on your machine.
- Consult the other files to fully customize your setup.
-
- Running NOS
- ===========
-
- (1) You must edit the following files putting in your own IP address
- and site name were indicated;
-
- Domain.txt in directory amiganos/slip
- nos-startup in directory amiganos/slip
-
- Also in Nos-startup you will need to tell it what speed your modem
- will be logging on to the host machine:
-
- attach asy serial.device 0 slip nos 4096 1006 38400c <-- The c is for
- ^ RTS/CTS
- |
- Use what you do in your
- terminal program.
-
- (3) Edit the ftpusers file in directory amiganos/slip
- (This is for when you logon to your NOS BBS.)
-
- The following is your choice;
-
- yourname : (Same as cix would be a good choice)
- Password : (Anything not obvious)
-
- (If you don't want any tom, dick or fis logging on get rid of the line
- that says anonymous *).
-
- (5) In your startup-sequence put the following;
-
- assign slip: <device>:amiganos/slip
- assign tcpip: <device>:amiganos/slip
- assign nntp: <device>:amiganos/slip/spool/articles
-
- (6) Edit the Nos-dial file and put in your own site name and password.
-
- (7) Copy files in amiganos/c to your c: directory.
-
- (8) To start simply click the icon (NOS) - it will then load and dial
- demon to connect.
-
- (Make sure the assign's are running i.e. you've done a reset)
-
- Q&A:
-
- Q: It won't even open a window
- A: You need 1MB or more of memory
-
- Q: How do I log on to my own node?
- A: Type "telnet yoursite" or "bbs" at the nos prompt.
-
- Q: What are all these commands for?
- A: Type help <command> for info.
