"Re: Good Dialup program for AmiTCP?".  My reply is thus...

 Hi Gene,


 HJM>> on the other hand do not understand the former and the later

 HJM>>                             Thanks in advance

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

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

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

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

 GH> FAILAT 21
 GH> c:dialup RPF=CON:420/270/270/200/DialUp/CLOSE/INACTIVE LOT=10 SCF=RAM:Env
 GH> IF "$SLIPCARRIER" EQ "ON"
 GH>     Amitcp:bin/StartNet
 GH> ELSE
 GH>     AmiTCP:bin/StopNet Flush
 GH> ENDIF
 GH> -eof-

 GH> That 'Dialup' line is 276 characters long.

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

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

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

 GH> Cheers

Are you using ppp.device. If you are why not use the built in diler. It works
great.
