I normally load the packet driver before running Arachne (see
Alejandro's message), so this is something I overlooked.
However, I just set up an .afc for Arachne to load the packet
driver and found that when I quit without hanging up (ALT X),
even though IP-UP.BAT is deleted by arachne.bat, the environment
variables (%MYIP%, etc.) are still set, so you should be able to
produce PATH.CFG without calling IP-UP.BAT in your batch file.
