Hello,
I have altered the 'AmiTCP:db/provider.conf' script to get PPP
online again after a system reboot.
If anybody knows how to do this with a simple switch please tell me :)
AmiTCP 4.2 worked by just adding the CD switch with PPP.device.
AmiTCP knows your IPAddress when you give it to it by:
set IP result
in the provider.conf script.
So what I did was save this to disk and reload it after a reboot.
The file is called 'S:IPAddress'.
When I manually stop AmiTCP I delete this file :)
I added the line 'Delete S:IPAddress' to my 'user-stopnet' file in
AmiTCP:db.
I changed the part of 'set IP result' 'MyIPAddress = result
set IP MyIPAddress'
Here is my AmiTCP:db/provider script.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
/* Provider Configuration Follows:
Name Other
DialUp 1
Interface ppp
InterfaceConfig "NOID ATH"
NeedSerial 1
IPDynamic 1
IPAddr 0.0.0.0
DestIP
Gateway
Netmask
NSDynamic 0
UseBootP 0
MTU 576
Phone 5443333
*/
/* The rest is the Dialer script for this provider */
options results
signal on error
if Exists('S:IPAddress') then do
call Open(file,'S:IPAddress','R')
call readln(file)
set IP result
call Close(file)
Say "Still Connected....Continuing"
end
else do
ShowConsole
Say "Dialing..."
call CommandState
SendLn "at&d0"
call Dial
WaitFor "login:"
SendLn "YOURLOGINNAME"
WaitFor "password:"
SendLn "YOURPASSWORD"
WaitFor "enter:"
SendLn "p"
WaitFor "ppp"
ParseAddrAfter 'your address:'
MyIPAddress = result
set IP MyIPAddress
call Open(file,'S:IPAddress','Write')
call writeln(file,MyIPAddress)
call Close(file)
HideConsole
end
exit 0; /* Successful exit */
error:
Say "Command on line" SIGL "returned" RC ":" SerScript.LASTERROR
Exit 10
