For your Info TIA Also Supports CSLIP and PPP!  I use CSLIP on the Amiga since
it's just as fast as the Registered PPP anyway so why get a Registered version
of PPP?  CSLIP works Great.  I use PPP when I'm running Shapeshifter because
it's just as fast as CSLIP but easyer to setup.

My Suggestion is to get a Copy of SlipCall from AmiNet!  Screw all the
Startnet/Stopnet Crap.  SlipCall has a Built in Dialer, and it's EASY to
configure and setup a Login Script.  I never could get PPP working with it
either though, and really don't care, but it's Simple to get CSLIP setup.
Download a copy, and if you have any problems on how to set things up let me
know, E-Mail me.  It's pretty Simple though.

I do have Startnet/Stopnet crap working also, but I just use SlipCall anyway
just because I don't need to use a Term program to log me on and run it's
script to startup TIA, and then having to Quit so I can startup execute
Startnet, thats just a PAIN.

Trust me, GRAB a copy of SlipCall.  The BEST thing of all is that SlipCall is
FreeWare, and I would have still Payed for it if it wasn't anyway.
