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
1104 Mason Drive
Hurst TX 76053
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? --------------------------------------------
