Ahhhhh yes, there's the problem. ;-)
The "current" PPP.LOG is over on drive C:
After exiting C:\arachne\arachne.bat you will need to copy the PPP.LOG
file over to D:\arachne\PPP.LOG
So, create these little .bat files
---ac.bat---
c:
cd \arachne
if exist d:\arachne\ppp.log copy d:\arachne\ppp.log c:\arachne\ppp.log
call arachne.bat
_____________
---ad.bat---
d:
cd \arachne
if exist c:\arachne\ppp.log copy c:\arachne\ppp.log d:\arachne\ppp.log
call arachne.bat
