Hi Folks
I downloaded and have been installing and setting up Arach169 and have
reached a problem.
I am using an external US Robotics 56K modem and can get it to dial out,
but it stops with the line:
PPP line is down. Driver not installed.
In the Arachne folder I have the configuration files:
LANTCP 12-24-98
MIME 12-11-00
PPPTCP 1-29-99
SECURITY 7-21-00
WATTCP 12-11-00
WWWMAN 1-15-00
ARACHNE 1-09-01
PPPDRC 1-09-01
Is this problem covered in RTFM, and if so, which one.
I am sure of the username and password.
The IP Address is dynamically assigned.
Nameservers 1 and 2 are entered and correct.
I used Modem Doctor to get the serial port information.
Phone number is valid
Terminal Window was used with similar problems.
Autodial is not used.
Login Script wasn't changed from what the program selected.
Modem init string is AT&F.
Dialing is by tone.
On External dial-up driver setup:
IP Address is at Read "IP address set to (rest is blank)
Name of WATTCP configuration file: is PPPTCP.CFG
1st nameserver is 206.196.128.1
2nd nameserver is 204.147.80.5
Packet driver command: is @epppd.exe>>PPP.LOG
Packet driver unload command is @termin.com 0x60>NUL
URL to display as "dialing page": is file:pppframe.htm
Serial port setup: is COM1, IRQ is 4, Base 0x3f8
115200 bps,
Data transfer mode 8n1
Modem init string AT&F
Tone dial
Phone number 303-487-7482
Terminal window tried both ways
Autodial off
Login script Try following dialogue off,

I am running this on a non windows 486DX, 33, 16 Meg of Ram, DRDOS Ver. 7.03
I don't see anything in the Autoexec.bat or Config.sys that relates to
Arachne, but I have included them here just in case I missed something that
is causing a problem.
Autoexec.bat reads:
@ECHO OFF
PATH C:\DRDOS;C:\MOUSE;C:\ARACHNE;C:\

After I get this worked out, I need to write up the details so I can have
200 middle school students hook up there modems after a bit of training. I
have the new modems, internet connections and computers ready.
Thanks for any help you can give.
