Herbert, set these in your Arachne.Cfg
UseTerminal No
Autologin No
And report if it works or not.
I seriously thought (and hoped) that we (the list) had come to the
conclussion that it was better to suggest PAP/CHAP instead of login scripts
to people as the first step...
So I'll ask (once again), is this a method everyone can agree upon to get
the best results for beginners:
First try PAP/CHAP, then if that fails try a manual login - and then
automate it when that one works.
Seriously I'm kind of getting tired of the suggestions to refine a script
instead of using a standardized method that most (I do believe it's all
since Windows uses it) ISPs use. Now if the user is connecting through for
instance a service provider that also allows InterNet access (such as AOL
or CompuServe) that's another thing and a script might be required.
And yes I know that even Toni Lopez (the author of epppd) thinks that
PAP/CHAP is uncommon but that's some BS he has picked up from Linux.
I'm sorry for the harsh words but I'm really getting tired of this extremly
odd approach for connections, so can we *please* stop suggesting it?
Please? It is my belief that one asnwer that suggests PAP/CHAP would solve
almost all these problems directly instead of an ongoing thread for some 10
mails or so.
And with that I'm off to upload three new APMs (they should be up when you
read this): djpeg32.apm (no need to actually download it unless you really
want to save a few Kbs), xpdf091.apm and png2bmp.apm I'll see if I have
time to make/upload a gzip.apm and gzip386.apm as well (might be needed for
some PDF files).
I'll also try and remove that "lost cluster problem" that L.D has with
Arachne, but no promises ;-)
