startnet.  There is more that has to be running than just AmiTCP and
it will handle all of that for you.  You could also try configuring a
dialscript for PPP and then you wouldn't have to use a separate dialer
program.  When I was using the 4.0 demo I just typed startnet and
PPP's dialer handled the connection and log-on.

Here's an example ppp.dial script:

TIMEOUT 2000
REDIAL "BUSY","NO CARRIER"
REDIALDELAY 200
SEND "AT&F2"
WAIT "OK"
SEND "ATDTxxx-xxxx"  <--insert your ISP's phone number instead of x's.
WAIT "name:"
SEND "yourusername"  <--replace with your username.
WAIT "word:"
SEND "yourpassword"  <--replace with your password.
DELAY 200
SEND "ppp"

I keep my pp.dial file in ENV:Sana2/. Just be sure to put enter the
dialscript into startnet using Config_AmiTCP.  It should add
DIALSCRIPT=env:sana2/ppp.dial (the full path) to the config line
within the startnet script.
