Dion,
Here is the .BAT file I use to start and run ARACHNE:
@echo off
REM ARA.BAT BAT file to start arachne
I: <--This is the drive Arachne is on.
cd \arach%1 <--I have various directories for the
different releases of Arachne, each
named ARACH<ver no>. Typing "ARA 160"
would go to directory for ver. 1.60b1
c:\razdaz\dazetune off <--This turns off my screen saver,
"Razzle Dazzle."
call arachne.bat <--Starts Arachne, returns to ARA.BAT after
exiting Arachne.
set myip= <|
set remip= |> Clears environmental variables
set netmask= |> not cleared by ARACHNE.BAT
set peermru= <|
c:\razdaz\dazetune on <--Turns screen saver back on
keymap dos <--Resets my mouse (trackball) driver
to emulate arrow keys.
cls <--Clears the screen
It's nothing very sophistocated.
Suggestions:
Do NOT modify ARACHNE.BAT. If anything needs changing, try to put it in the
.BAT file that you use to start Arachne (I believe that is just called, A.BAT
in 1.60b1).
Post your ARACHNE.CFG (x-ing out your passwords) so that we may see how you
have Arachne configured.
Make sure that your modem is on COM1 or COM2. If not, I'm sure that others
on the list will make suggestions on how to take care of the problem.
If you are using a "Login" script, make sure that the hyphens "-" are removed
from used and unused lines.
Hope this helps.

I have tried UKA_PPP with not much success.
I can get connected, but cannot get PPP to start
nor Arachne to work. I can get ispap to (apparently)
load and start its pppd but Arachne does not connect
to it.
Probably I am attempting too many things with too little
knowledge. It seems like the various pieces all have
their own universes and docs etc but there is no overall
doc that says at a higher level what you need in a
big .BAT file that starts everything you need. ;-)
Anyway... if someone actually has got Arachne to work with
DRDOS (7.02) plus Motorola Bitsurfer ISDN, I'd be most
appreciative of a little info, like what config files
you used, what ppp packet driver works, anything.
Arachne looks like a great alternative browser and I'd
like to give it a try. Thanks all for your listening!
