- NOTE: AutoNet does NOT work on a SLIP or PPP account. If you have one
- of those, get AutoWinNet from www.computek.net/autownet
-
-
- Read this only if you have problems with AutoNet.
-
- Since the Internet is not reliable, nor is it predictable, this
- program is bound to have some difficulties. Here are some of
- the probable questions you may have:
-
-
- --- My NCFTP does not work! ---------------------------------------------
-
- Autonet does NOT support NCFTP. That program is designed to be a cute
- interface to FTPing. And Autonet doesn't like cute interfaces.
- It prefers regular old FTP commands. If possible, ask that your
- provider give you regular FTP.
-
-
-
-
- ---- AutoNet doesn't log into my Internet provider! ---------------------
-
- When AutoNet logs on, it looks for 'login:' or 'Username:' then
- fills in your info. Chances are you don't have a standard prompt
- or you got an ugly menu to sort through.
-
- You'll need to write a login "script" to get you through the initial
- menus or prompts, and straight to the Internet's UNIX SHELL.
-
-
-
-
- ---- AutoNet doesn't recognize my serial port. ------------------
-
- AutoNet works with port 1-4. Any wierd IRQ settings are not supported,
- yet. I'll add more expandability to this humongous thing later!
-
-
-
- --- Your SCRIPT and LOGIN commands don't work --------------------
-
- Try using UPPER CASE, like the examples.
-
- Proper: DELETE *.zip
- RUN myscrip.scr
- LOGIN myscrip.scr
-
-
-
- --- When its on the Internet, it sometimes hangs there and doesn't ------
- know what to do.
-
- Nothing is perfect, and certainly not an expensive program like this :-)
- AutoNet is configured for the Internet the best I could manage.
- The Internet is sometimes like Windows.. moody and unpredictable.
- (Some people would say Women are like that too)
- If you know an Internet site will screw AutoNet up, just mail me
- the site name or number, and I will personally log on, and try to
- adjust the next version to accomodate it.
-
-
-
- --- AutoNet skips over the first line in the agenda file ----------------
-
- Very rarely, if a large number of files are open, it will do that.
- Put a WAIT 1 as your first line if you have this problem.
-
- Example: WAIT 1
- ...remainder of agenda file
-
-
-
-
- --- AutoNet just doesn't WORK! ---------------------------------------
-
- Double check your agenda. Make sure it's a logical format:
-
- IE: No cd /directory when you haven't even FTP'ed a site yet,
- and other common mistakes.
-
- Next, check your log file for details.
-
-
-
-
-
-
- --- AutoNet makes some backup copies of everything before it starts -----
-
- Yes it does. If you don't like this, change that setting in your
- ADVANCED.CFG file.
-
-
-
- ---- How much is AutoNet and how can I order? --------------------------
-
- AutoNet is $35.00 American Dollars (no foreign currency, checks, etc)
-
- You can order by sending a check drawn on an American bank or a
- money order to:
-
- David Smith
- PO Box 202758
- Arlington TX 76006
-
- or order with your visa/mastercard by calling 1-800-242-4775
- from 8:00am - 5:00pm Texas time.
-
-
-
-
- ----- How can I get rid of those beginning stupid screens? -------------
-
- They should only appear once.
-
-
-
- ----- Where can I find you? --------------------------------------------
