Dear Udo & Danny

I had some problems about one month ago and 'the list' helped me out.

First:
I had to less memory so Arachne crashed.
The list advised to close all programms not needed (e.g. Norton
Commander, text edittors, etc.) to free more memory for Arachne.
I also had to install a smaller mouse driver: CMOUSE is OK

Second:
The dialer in the .cfg file comes with default:

WaitFor1 -
Response1 -      As Howard's example to the list dated 23 jun
Waitfor2 -
Response -
WaitFor3 -
......

This is not good. This should be:

WaitFor1  ogin:         provider asking for Login:
Response1 \u            Arachne answers \u (username)
WaitFor2  sword:        provider asking for Password:
Response2 \p            Arachne answers \p (password)
WaitFor3   -            "-" is not given by provider so waiting untill
                        time out.

Delete all the "-" and fill in "blanks" or delete WaitFor3 and all the
waitFor and responses not needed by placing ";" at the beginning of each
unwanted line

; WaitFor3 -
; Response3 - 

A good example is given by Glenn also on 23 jun

Hope this will help you .. it did to me; I am writing this with Arachne
