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.

The assumption here is that you have configured AmiTCP to use ppp rather
than anything else.  Once you have this done you need to create a ppp
script (using the dialer provided in the ppp package) If you follow the
instructions in the ppp package you will be adding the ppp startup to
startnet and hence all you will need to do is type startnet to get going.

Using another dialer with ppp is do-able but the one provided with the
device is probably the best choice.

This is my opinion and not that of my employer and should therefore not be considered anything my employer would say or support.
