I tried comports, I read the documentation, added it to autoexec, (didn't do it).
Downloaded Klos PPP, don't understand how to use it.
there is nothing on COM 1 (I think, I just got this computer, used) the only thing
connected (externally) is my A: drive to expansion slot.
The modem is internal. I tried another browser, nettamer (SUCKS) it connected. I
REALLY want to use ARACHNE. I have attached arachne.cfg.
What am I doing wrong.
BTW, My ISP was dumbstruck when I told them I was running a DOS browser called
ARACHNE, they said we don't offer tech support for that.
like I care, if this mailing list don't help, nothing will.

Subject: Re: PPP link is down
User Purington:
Use the comports program and load it prior to running Arachne. It
works. It
eliminated precisely the problem you have. Once you've done this, in
terminal
mode you may want to try entering username and password as prompted by
your
ISP. Whatever your next prompt is, try typing in " PPP default" (may
be case
sensitive) and when you start getting lines of gibberish, hit F7 and
you're
on! I can empathize with getting "Packet Driver Down", and my
connection was
long-distance to boot! BTW, anyone know how to make the pointer
arrow
bigger and/or more brightly colored (for aged parents) in 1.50 src?
