It's probably an old number.

Did you get the updates? I think they fix these issues.

BTW, I didn't ignore your mails (well in a way I did) but I rarely check 
paulc@ as it's full of spam. pdumpster at gmail dot com would be better ;-)

I did a quick dig on google newsgroups, and came up with the following,
from a few years back. It might be of some use.


I appear to now have the system up and running, but I've advised the
"Twins" to replace their hard drive which has been on the way out since
they bought it, and has made this a more frustrating process. I think the
problems I've had are largely that Demon have moved the goalposts since
the '98 update was done, and adapting that setup is probably more complex
for a plodder like me, than using the 96' installer with the updates, and
then getting a recent sendmail installed. It also helped getting PIPE
mounted, maybe one day I'll know what that means..... �possibly a good way
of breaking the ice at parties, "Mmmmmm.... nice dress, BTW I've got PIPE:
mounted."



                  All the best,

If the suggestion is that perhaps things have now gone a bit beyond the
capability of a 1200, then that sounds like good advice and offers the
cautionary note that perhaps any further effort might be a waste of time.

Looks like I will have to look at the options and try another route but for
sure, using an Installer seems to be not quite the correct route.

What I really need or would like, is to have the various components of the
stack explained to me.

How to mount PIPE: is likely to be my very next google - its been bugging me
for a while.

I don't like to give up but it looks like another route to whatever I was
trying to achieve, will have to be sought.

I would be very surprised if it's impossible. Stunned in fact. Demon's 
dial up hasn't changed that much.

Move it from storage:dosdrivers to devs:dosdrivers ;-)

It is possible from first principles, really depends on how much time 
you want to spend on it.

You need to start with the AmiTCP v4 demo get that working locally, then 
move onto getting dialling working (with PPP1_45reg.lha)

It's very easy with Miami, but I can't remember what the demo limits 
are, or if that will cause you a problem.

I've got Amitcp working (I think) but the set-up I followed is based on SLIP
and so I probably need to adapt it for pop3, if Demon have stopped doing
SLIP.

I had an excursion into Miami over the weekend but found that it needed MUI.
So I got MUI38usr and found that it would not install and stopped with -
can't open " " in line 299.

So another disappointment.

So I'm back to Amitcp - about to download PPP1_45reg.

Thanks for the help!

ping 127.0.0.1 should prove that

Adapt for PPP ;-)

Probably need to update the installer program to install Miami, I'm 
pretty sure that's the problem there.

Well, you're ahead of that now, but never mind ;-)

Well, the 1200 I'm using is coping just fine. Of course there are some
irritations with Amiga software not being as modern as we'd like causing
problems with some websites, but generally, I don't think your 1200
hardware is related to your problem, unless its broken.

Hi Guys,

I would just like to announce that I have Amitcp up and running and I can
email and browse - so I have achieved what I wanted/needed.

Learnt a few things too.

But most of all I would like to thank Paul and Angus for the invaluable help
they have given me over the last couple of weeks.

Its reassuring to know that the Amiga brotherhood is still extant. ;-)

Best regards,

Steve Wade
