Hello,

	I am attempting to setup amitcp on a 1200.  I beleive I have it
"intalled" to the extent that it is on the hard drive, but I need to
remedy a error I'm getting.  The wording is something to the effect that
the ppp device driver is offline.  Does that mean when "online ppp" is
called that it can't dial the modem.  We are using a Metricom wireless
modem to run ppp. We opened a term to the serial device and can verify
that the modem is working properly.  I also have some general questions
about the AmiTCP implementation.. like Do you have to have a IP address
before you get one dynamically allocated.  It shows that when I run
startnet that I should provide an IP address...  Some general direction
would be nice.  Which files, and where are they, are the
"configureation" files.  Does AmiTCP use resolv.conf, host,
defaultgateway, etc.. for configuring. 


Thanks,
Kurt Van Delden


As for the metricom modem,
It is pretty simple device.
You type "atdt austinc**ppp" to get it to start sending configuration
packets to the tcpip stack.  There is no authintication.  Can the amiga
dialer send alphanumeric phone numbers to the modem ?  Again, Thanks.
