- *** A little help getting started ***
-
- For every provider you wish to cantact,
- you need:
- ENV:providerDIAL
- ENV:providerDIAL2 (optional)
- ENV:providerPOPARGS (optional)
- 'provider' can be any name you want, this is
- the DIAL argument for startnet. Do NOT use
- dot '.' character(s) and spaces in ENV: filenames!
-
- !!! DO NOT USE OLD POPARGS FILES !!!
-
- ENV:providerDIAL contains the dialscript BEFORE the
- password, ENV:providerDIAL2 only is needed when you
- need to send something AFTER the password.
- You need ENV:providerPOPARGS if AmiPOP is to start.
- If you don't have AmiPOP, delete ENV:#?POPARGS files!
- newDIAL, xs4allDIAL and xs4allPOPARGS are examples
- for you to edit to your specific needs.
-
- ENV:Sana2/ppp0.config: the DIALSCRIPT should
- be set to T:DIALSCRIPT. Example:
- serial.device 0 38400 0.0.0.0 7WIRE DIALSCRIPT=T:DIALSCRIPT
-
- All these ENV: files should be copied to your
- ENVARC: directory for some permanency. Please be
- carefull, startnet sets FileNote on 'ENV:providerDIAL',
- which contains the password. This is NOT to be copied
- to ENVARC:, except when you don't care for safety
- for some passwords ('guest' and 'new' passwords).
-
- If you want to contact a provider that does not need
- a password, set the FilNote on providerDIAL to NOPASSWORD.
- (see env/newDIAL for an example)
-
- db/resolv.conf - Add the domain names (and their
- name servers) of all the providers you want to dial.
-
- db/interfaces - add somthing like this if it's not
- allready there:
- ppp0 DEV=DEVS:Networks/ppp.device UNIT=0 IPTYPE=33 NOARP P2P
-
- !!! Set the .DEF args in startnet to what you need. !!!
-
- !!! If you don't want aws to start, !!!
- !!! delete lines in startnet/stopnet !!!
-
- If you use the provided newDIAL file, you will be
- connected to xs4all in Amsterdam. Login=new.
- If you call from outside Holland, edit ENV:xs4allDIAL
- for the correct phone number.
-
- Before you try to connect, start startnet with
- 'debug' arg to see the DIALSCRIPT and or POPARGS.
-
- You also need my stopnet 1.9.
-
- If you have any questions, email: jpvw@xs4all.nl
-
- If you use the scripts, please let me know.
