Jack Cotter, All:
Here's the line in my aracdial.bat where I use the epppdd.exe from
the dospppd distribution at:
http://www.citilink.com/~kae/faq/connecting/dos/ppp.html
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
@lh epppdd base 0x2F8 irq 3 pktvec 0x60 57600 asyncmap 0
crtscts -d > output.txt
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(It's all one line, Pegasus E-Mail probably breaks it up)
I have the file output.txt overwritten each time I connect with
Netdial 1.3 - Arachne combo, and this reduces the amount of
output that scrolls down the screen when epppdd is running.
If I want to go look at output.txt, I can, it's in the c:\netdial
directory where epppdd is.
My aracdial.bat file is attached, and so far, it has worked
perfectly with epppdd on this Compaq.
Thanks,
Michael L. Dawley
