Peter, that last sentence is what the "scripting problem" is about.  You can't 
do a completely automatic login, either with SLIP or PPP.  You have to log in 
manually.  (Actually, Win95's PPP will log in to some--but only some--service 
providers automatically.)

You don't have to use HyperTerm to log in (I assume that's what you meant by 
HyperPad).  Instead, open the connection properties and find the check box 
that says to bring up a terminal window after dialing.  Then a little TTY 
window will open automatically after it dials, and you can log in there.

It's still not as nice as being able to do a scripted login like you can with 
Trumpet Winsock or NT's Winsock.
