from Sam Heywood: >I have found that some wattcp applications will parse the value of >DOS environment variables, if they appear in a wattcp.cfg file. >Thus if you put: > > my_ip=%myip% > >in a wattcp.cfg file - where %myip% is the variable set to your current >dynamic IP address when you run a file like ip-up.bat or similar file, >created by epppd, some applications will be able to interpret >%myip% directly. For those writing different wattcp.cfg file for >different applications, this saves you the trouble of writing a >batch file that inserts the literal dynamic IP address into wattcp.cfg I tried this with UKA_PPP, and it didn't work at all. But with UKA_PPP 1.7x2, running the X_* programs for SMTP, POP3 and NNTP, I don't change the my_ip line at all, and it works either with COMTCP under OS/2 Warp 4 or TCPPORT when connecting with DOS.
