*** A little help getting started *** For every provider you wish to cantact, you need: ENV:providerDIAL ENV:providerDIAL2 (optional) ENV:providerPOPARGS (optional) 'provider' can be any name you want, this is the DIAL argument for startnet. Do NOT use dot '.' character(s) and spaces in ENV: filenames! !!! DO NOT USE OLD POPARGS FILES !!! ENV:providerDIAL contains the dialscript BEFORE the password, ENV:providerDIAL2 only is needed when you need to send something AFTER the password. You need ENV:providerPOPARGS if AmiPOP is to start. If you don't have AmiPOP, delete ENV:#?POPARGS files! newDIAL, xs4allDIAL and xs4allPOPARGS are examples for you to edit to your specific needs. ENV:Sana2/ppp0.config: the DIALSCRIPT should be set to T:DIALSCRIPT. Example: serial.device 0 38400 0.0.0.0 7WIRE DIALSCRIPT=T:DIALSCRIPT All these ENV: files should be copied to your ENVARC: directory for some permanency. Please be carefull, startnet sets FileNote on 'ENV:providerDIAL', which contains the password. This is NOT to be copied to ENVARC:, except when you don't care for safety for some passwords ('guest' and 'new' passwords). If you want to contact a provider that does not need a password, set the FilNote on providerDIAL to NOPASSWORD. (see env/newDIAL for an example) db/resolv.conf - Add the domain names (and their name servers) of all the providers you want to dial. db/interfaces - add somthing like this if it's not allready there: ppp0 DEV=DEVS:Networks/ppp.device UNIT=0 IPTYPE=33 NOARP P2P !!! Set the .DEF args in startnet to what you need. !!! !!! If you don't want aws to start, !!! !!! delete lines in startnet/stopnet !!! If you use the provided newDIAL file, you will be connected to xs4all in Amsterdam. Login=new. If you call from outside Holland, edit ENV:xs4allDIAL for the correct phone number. Before you try to connect, start startnet with 'debug' arg to see the DIALSCRIPT and or POPARGS. You also need my stopnet 1.9. If you have any questions, email: jpvw@xs4all.nl If you use the scripts, please let me know. Jan Pieter, 10-11-97, Hilversum, HOLLAND.
