Of course, which is more or less what I do, although I put
everything in wattcp.cfg and don't use include=path.cfg. I
also configure config.tel for NCSA apps and autoexec.net/nos
for KA9Q.

I run Arachne like any other Wattcp application by calling
arachne.bat or a.bat. My arachne.cfg looks something like:
[profile]
Profile FASTPC.ACF
Connection READY
Hangup NUL
[dialer]
;empty
[tcp/ip]
IP_Address WATTCP
TCPconfig WATTCP.CFG
[mail]
...

When I load epppd from inside Arachne and then do an ALT-X, all
four environment variables in IP-UP.BAT are still in memory.
g:\arachne>set
MYIP=134.117.137.49
REMIP=134.117.137.16 <- gateway or remote ip
NETMASK=255.255.0.0
PEERMRU=1500
I see no reason why you would have to call IP-UP.BAT again in
your batch file. Try it yourself.
