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.
