Hi Stephen;
The vexing answer is A1.67 has a bug and since Glenn reported it, I'm
pretty sure Michael took note. <G>
It's just a mistake. Sh.. happens. A1.66 was OK in this area.
Re: plea, it seems the easiest thing to do to get EPPPD to work high
is specify BOOTP. :/ Why this wasn't pointed out before is a mystery.
So, I _think_ all you do is set IP_Address BOOTP in Arachne.cfg
and then specify Connection @LH EPPPD.exe>>PPP.log
You seem to have enough total hi mem free - I don't know how much
contiguous the new EPPPD requires.
Hmmm. That reminds me.... if there IS a new EPPPD, actually, maybe,
with A1.67 you don't have to DO the BOOTP dance. <G>
I don't have the Arachne 1.67 changes.txt handy - but YOU do, so take
a look and try a few things and let us know. <g>
