If any unregistered user is interested in finding out how Arachne behaves registered they should try 1.64, Michael is this a bug or a feature? ;-) And, as always, not all version numbers are increased...

Thanks Clarence, it seems like EPPPD defaults to COM1 if no port is set - but it actually just stores all the data in the area reserved for when Com1 is used. My suggestion is that Arachne writes the Base itself (no more "Default") and never write the COM port. And if Arachne would check that the values written to pppdrc.cfg are in a correct format (the DNS 123.456.789.1011 isn't valid for instance) I could shave that off of epppd (a special compile of course). And while speaking of IP-addresses, if the Gateway cant be reached Arachne shouldn't lock up (but that's more related to WatTCP isn't it?) BTW: When the discussion about what program creates pppdrc.cfg came up I never had time to comment - but miniterm has never created that file for me. (Nor does it do when I look over the source, I did see it in the source for core.exe). Oh yeah, http://www.starwarsemail.com/ doesn't work properly (probably due to a cookie problem), I don't know if it worked with earlier versions. The problem is that you can't remove your mail (not that I ever get any except that from the maintainers of the site).
