I tried to post this question the other day, but never saw it show up.
If this is a repeat, I apologize, but I still don't have an answer
8-(.
As Paul Harvey might say, I have a strange....
Last fall, I was able to successful set up a REXX script to work with
SLIPPM (Dial Other Internet Provider) in the Warp Internet Access Kit.
I had to stop using Warp, though, because my system was too slow. I
just recently got a new machine and reinstalled Warp. This time,
though, I can't get the script to work. (I have a new Internet
provider, so I had to start over.) As the login sequence, I have
entered:
intelnet.cmd atdt3710300 keithr xxxxx
with, of course, the proper password substituted.
I modified the annex.cmd file provided with the IAK, using the
identical parse line:
parse arg interface , dialcmd username password
When I tried to dial, I got the following:
info: [main] couldn't determine hostname
.
.
.
info: Connecting with <intelnet.cmd atdt3710300 keithr xxxxx>
inteleNET - PPP Connection Script (interface ppp0)
User Name: error: Rexx error -48 running RexxStart
error: [main] could not set up connection
First of all, I have no idea what "couldn't determine hostname" means,
but I'm not sure it's significant. More importantly, though, in
debugging the script, I found that, while interface is parsed
correctly to ppp0, dialcmd is parsed to com1! Username and password
are parsed to null (or possibly a space).
I seemed to remember that last fall, case had made a difference, so I
tried to change the login sequence to upper case. When I did this,
though, I now got:
info: Connecting with <slattach AT OK ATDT371-0300 NNECT INTELNET.CMD
ATDT3710300 KEITHR XXXXX>
Can ANYONE tell me what I'm doing wrong? I've spent several hours on
this, and it's driving me nuts!
Thanks....
