I found that with AmiTCP 4.0demo I had to add two lines to the startnet script
to copy the environment variables ppp0IPRemote and ppp0IPLocal to evv-archive:
so they survived the warm boot. This is with a dynamic connection of course.
However I now use commercial AmiTCP V4.2 and this is not necessary anymore. So
if you are using AmiTCP 4.0demo and a dynamic PPP connection try it and see if
it works. Just add the lines towards the end of the script as ppp0IPRemote and
ppp0IPLocal are created by AmiTCP during the logon process.
