If I remember correctly ,back in March, "Swampdog" posted a news article giving
details of his startup.nos and dial.txt files and a command "ifconfig s10up" 
that has to be entered once logged-in.

I've copied my files below. It may be possible to place the "ifconfig..."
command in the dial.txt keyed by the demon "hullo". 
   
DON'T FORGET THAT I'M USING NOS v.045
