SlipCall crashed me too, unless I had segtracker/enforcer running. I
couldn't afford the paper to log the hits, nor the performance hit
that caused. Ergo, I *had* to fix Dailup since my ISP never woke up
on the first cr transmitted, and got it baud rates all messed up if
I sent a string of them.

Get the exact syntax of the commands from the system folks at the U.,
or record them as a macro in a term proggy while doing a manual login,
then plug them into the correct vars in the dialup line and go.

Bear in mind that dialup only parses the rest of the line in your
script that its called on, therefore when editing this script, you
*must* turn off any automatic linefeeds/word-wrappers your editor
might do. That single line could be 300+ characters long!

I am on a system that doesn't use PAP/CHAP, does use kerboros, and is
PPP only. Here is the script I feed it from a toolmanager button.

FAILAT 21
c:dialup RPF=CON:420/270/270/200/DialUp/CLOSE/INACTIVE LOT=10 SCF=RAM:Env/SANA2/ppp0.config RDD=15 NRC CS="CONNECT 57600|115200" PN=atdtTHEUNIVERSITYNUMBER\n LOGINTIMEOUT=5 WBW=3 WUS=\r\*\r LIP="ername>" LIN="your_account_name\r" PWP="assword>" PW="your_password\r2\r" LOK=""
IF "$SLIPCARRIER" EQ "ON"
    Amitcp:bin/StartNet
ELSE
    AmiTCP:bin/StopNet Flush
ENDIF
-eof-

That 'Dialup' line is 276 characters long.

See the "y..d\r2\r" which is part of the transmitted password above,
the '2' is the actual 'PPP' trigger in this case since my site
presents a 1 to 10 menu after the password is validated. The '2' is
the start PPP option on that menu.

Note too that I've used some abreviations in that line. Not all of
the variable names used in DialUp have abreviations available, so
consult the docs for the exact abreviation to use if there is one
available for that item.

As explained in the 3.06 docs, the only thing I changed was the WUS
treatment, that * in there now causes a 1/4 second delay so the autobaud
routines at the server don't get so confused. All I can say is Read
the manual, paying attention to one item at a time.  Its very easy to
get lost in that forest, I've done it myself many times! 8-(
