Howdy from Texas!

In article <42115704@phoenix.owl.de>, "Frank Wille" <frank@phoenix.owl.de> says:

I have PPP 1.23 and it says that after installation, you still have to
configure the stack.  However, the file they say to edit, 
"AmiTCP:db/netdb is a non-existant file.  Does the latest version of PPP
have an updated ppp.guide?

Ok, here is my startnet script:

__________________________________________________________________
.key IPADDRESS
.bra {
.ket }
.def IPADDRESS 0.0.0.0

; log in
echo
echo login: msessums
AmiTCP:bin/login -f msessums
AmiTCP:bin/umask 022
AmiTCP:AmiTCP
WaitForPort AMITCP
; Configure loop-back device
AmiTCP:bin/ifconfig lo0 localhost
; Configure ppp0
AmiTCP:bin/ifconfig ppp0 {IPADDRESS} 204.251.17.98 netmask 255.255.255.0
; Add route to this host
AmiTCP:bin/route add {IPADDRESS} localhost
; Add route to the default gateway
AmiTCP:bin/route add default 204.251.17.98
setenv HOSTNAME `AmiTCP:bin/hostname`
Assign TCP: Exists > NIL:
IF Warn
  Mount TCP: from AmiTCP:devs/Inet-Mountlist
EndIf
; Start the internet `super server'
run AmiTCP:bin/inetd

If you can see something that's not quite right with my startnet, I would
appreciate the help.  Also, please let me know if there are other files
that require updating for PPP access.

Thanks, and happy surfing!
