I have checked the NAMESERVER and it is correct. Using a proxy gives
me the same result. I never see "receiving data" but the RD/SD flash
on my modem intermittently. Sometimes it stops at Resolving Host and
pressing ESC does not abort like it says it should. I have no option
but to reboot. I am using port modem1 at 9600 baud with a 28.8K modem.
Still completely stuck as to what to do ??? (except buy a PC :-( ).
Here are my default.cfg and dial.scr files:-
default.cfg -
ALLOCMEM = 150000
SERIALPORT = Modem 1
CDVALID = TRUE
DIALFILE = dial.scr
CLIENT_IP = 158.152.20.61
TTL = 64
PING_TTL = 255
MTU = 576
MSS = 536
PKT_SIZE = 2048
DFB_SIZE = 1024
RCV_WND = 4096
UP_RESPONSE = 2
USERNAME = will
HOSTNAME = lyneside.demon.co.uk
FULLNAME = Will Hand
NAMESERVER = 158.152.1.43
IRCNICK = {nonick}
IRCSERVER = irc.demon.co.uk
IRCPORT = 6667
IRCPONGMSG = WWW installer!
dial.scr -
BAUD_RATE = 9600
HANGUP = ATH
PREFIX = ATDT
INIT = ATZ
CONNECT_WAIT = 35
REDIAL_DELAY = 20
PHONE_NUMBER = 01813434848
SUCCESS = CDWAIT
FAILURE = BUSY
FAILURE = NO CARRIER
FAILURE = NO DIALTONE
FIND = ogin:
RESP = lyneside
FIND = word:
RESP = **********
FIND = ocol:
RESP = slip
FIND = IP Address:
RESP = $GET_IP
Any ideas anybody, please ?
TIA
Will.
