Howdo Frank

Being fairly new to the Internet and fairly old in age, I'm not too sure
how I managed to setup CAB/STIK and have it run with only an occassional
"Ctl-K"!, however you will find below, the program versions  and Stik
settings that I use.

If anyone out there spots a change in any setting that would improve 
performance please let me know.

CAB v1.5 STIK v1.12 & CAB.OVL v1.21

# STiK config file
#
# VAR = VALUE           :standard format
#
#   Non existent vars are 0 (FALSE) by default.
#   Variables without "= value" are set to ON
#   Variables with " = " but no value are set to 0. (ie: = nothing)
#
#   TRUE  and ON  are acceptable substitutes for 1
#   FALSE and OFF are acceptable substitutes for 0
#
#   Lines not beginning with an alphabetic character are ignored, but
#   this whole file is kept in memory during the session!!
#   So if you want to save (a little) memory, trim these comments!
#
#   Currently only 100 variables can be specified.  Extra VARs are ignored.
#
#   The variable names and boolean values are not case sensitive.
#   Values may be case sensitive depending on usage.
#
#
#   Memory to be reserved.  This is for ALL of TCP's internal memory
#   requirements, except the space to store the config file.
#   This includes all input queues, output queues, DNS cache, etc...
#   It must be large enough to cope, plus a bit extra for luck :-)
#   If unset, defaults to 50000 bytes.
#
ALLOCMEM = 210000
#
#
#       Use the program `listport.tos' to list the serial ports
#       available with your hardware configuration.  Use the
#       port name exactly as it appears in the listport display,
#       including correct capitilisation and spaces.
#
#       If SERIALPORT is not set, or has an invalid port name,
#       the default is to use the first port listed by listport.tos
#       So if that port is the one you want to use, you don't need
#       to set this variable.
#
SERIALPORT  =   Modem 1
#
#
#   CDVALID     Set this variable to FALSE if your modem doesn't assert
#               Carrier Detect properly.
CDVALID = TRUE
#
#
#   The name of the dial script file to use.
#   This entry must be just the pathname, and the file itself
#   must be in the \stik_cfg directory on the boot disk.
#   Default is dial.scr
#
DIALFILE = dial.scr
#
#
#   CLIENT_IP   if your provider allocates you a different Ip Address
#   whenever you log in, then don't bother with CLIENT_IP
#   However, if you have an IP address all to yourself, then put
#   it here, in dotted decimal.  If your dial script file gets
#   your address at login time, it will override this value.
#
CLIENT_IP = 194.222.58.113
#
#
#   TCP paramaters.  Don't change without advice from a TCP freak :-)
#   If left unset, they default to hardcoded (sensible) values.
#
TTL         =   64
PING_TTL    =  255
MTU         =  1500
RCV_WND     = 4096
#
#
# Protocol. Specify with which protocol you want to connect to your ISP 
# At the moment Protocol=0 is SLIP whilst Protocol=1 is CSLIP
# If this line does not appear stik defaults to SLIP
#
#PROTOCOL = 0
#
#
#   Response to incoming TCP packets to unknown ports
#   0 = default (3 = send ICMP)
#   1 = ignore
#   2 = send TCP RST
#   3 = send ICMP `unknown port' response
#
#   3 is the `correct' response, but when connecting to an IRC server
#   it attempts to contact your identd on port 113.  If it thinks you
#   don't have identd, it will most probably reset your IRC session.
#   Until I have written an identd, response 1 or 2 should fool at least
#   some of the servers.
#
UP_RESPONSE =   2
#
#
#   Your username and hostname.
#
#   HOSTNAME is the hostname of your computer for this session.
#   If your address is dynamically allocated, HOSTNAME will be wrong.
#   For now, just set it to your providers hostname (or whatever). 
#   Try to make it reasonably accurate if possible.
#
#   USERNAME doesn't make much sense either until I have an identd
#   working.  So it doesn't really matter what it is.  When I do have
#   an identd, this will be your `valid' username for incoming queries.
#   Currently, these values are only used when starting IRC sessions.
#
#   FULLNAME is pretty obvious, right?
#
USERNAME = denr
HOSTNAME = denr.demon.co.uk
FULLNAME = Denniss Riches
#
#
#   The NAMESERVER (ie: DNS or Domain Name Server) *must* be set,
#   preferably to a nameserver that your provider recommends.
#
NAMESERVER  = 158.152.1.58
#
#
#   WWW Proxy for HTML
#
# Uncomment the following two lines if you need to use a proxy-server. If
# you don't know what it is, or don't use HTML, then don't worry about it.
# Don't forget to set them to a proxy server appropriate for you...
#
#HTTP_PROXY=www-cache.demon.co.uk
#HTTP_PROXY_PORT=8080
#

#
#   Dial script file for STiK.ACC
#
#
#   There are two parts to the connection process.
#
#   The first part is initialising the modem, dialing a remote system
#   and establishing a connection to a remote modem.
#
#   The second part is to log into the remote computer.  This will
#   involve entering a username and password, selecting SLIP mode,
#   and reading the Internet Address that your system will have for
#   the duration of the session.
#
#
#   Dial Script Part 1  -  Establishing the connection.
#
#   The first thing to do is to specify the speed of the modem with
#   the BAUD_RATE variable.
#
BAUD_RATE = 57600
#
#
#   Next you should define how your modem responds to the DTR
#   signal.  STiK will use the DTR signal to hangup the modem
#   if HANGUP = DTR is set.  Otherwise set HANGUP to the
#   appropriate hangup string for your modem. (eg: HANGUP = ATH)
#
HANGUP = ATH
#
#
#   PREFIX sets the dial prefix (ie: ATD, ATDT, ATDP)
#
PREFIX = ATD
#
#
#   INIT set the string you can use to initialise the modem.
#
INIT = ATZ1
#
#
#   Dialing paramaters.
#
#   The dialing parameters are CONNECT_WAIT and REDIAL_DELAY.  These
#   are times in seconds.  CONNECT_WAIT is the amount of time to wait
#   for a connection after dialing a number.  REDIAL_DELAY is the amount
#   of time to wait in between dial attempts.
#
CONNECT_WAIT = 45
REDIAL_DELAY = 5
#
#
#   Phone Number(s).  PHONE_NUMBER = number.  Some providers
#   have more than one number you can dial.  You can specify
#   up to five phone numbers here.
#
PHONE_NUMBER = 08450798666
#
#
#   Determining connection success/failure.
#
#   Connection success can be determined either by detecting the
#   modems Carrier Detect signal (SUCCESS = CDWAIT), or waiting 
#   for a CONNECT response (SUCCESS = CONNECT) from the modem.
#   Failure can be determined by a timeout or a modem response
#   such as NO CARRIER, BUSY, NO DIALTONE etc.
#   Up to five FAILURE test words can be set.
#
SUCCESS = CONNECT
FAILURE = BUSY
FAILURE = NO CARRIER
FAILURE = NO DIALTONE
#
#
#
#   Dial Script Part 2  -  Log in to the Service Provider.
#
#   The STiK dialer uses the standard `conversational' method for
#   login to the provider.  This involves searching for certain
#   words and sending an appropriate response.  The special
#   response $GET_IP is used to read the IP address that your
#   provider has assigned you for this session.  If your provider
#   has allocated you a permanent IP Address, then you should set
#   it in the default.cfg file and NOT use $GET_IP.
#
#   Each step of the `conversation' is specified as a FIND line
#   and a RESP line.  There can be up to 10 steps.  Each FIND
#   *must* have a matching RESP and WAIT, even if they have no
#   value.  (values are put into arrays in the order they appear)
#
#   WAIT is the time in milliseconds to pause before each FIND/RESP
#   For accuracy, the time should be a multiple of 5.
#   (ie: a WAIT = 4  would result in a pause of 0. WAIT = 12 would be 10)
#
#   By default each RESP line is sent with a carriage return
#   character at the end.  If you need to use a line feed character
#   instead then put a | at the end of the line.  This only works
#   if the | is the last character of the line.  A / character at
#   the end of a line means carriage return, but this is the default,
#   so you don't need it.
#
#   If you want to send just a Carriage Return, then use RESP /
#   If you want to send just a Linefeed, then use RESP |
#
#   Note that if neither FIND or RESP have a value, they are ignored,
#   but in this case the WAIT (if any) will still pause.
#   If FIND has no value but RESP does, the value of RESP will be
#   sent immediately or after the WAIT time.
#   If FIND has a value but RESP does not, then after the FIND
#   the dialer will move straight on to the next WAIT/FIND/RESP
#
#WAIT 1000
#FIND = Enter:
#RESP = 3
#
WAIT 1000
FIND = gin:
RESP = denr
#
WAIT 1000
FIND = word:
RESP = nr14lz
#
WAIT 1000
FIND = ocol:
RESP = slip idle=0
#
WAIT 1000
FIND = denr:
RESP =
