Hi Curtis;
To use "Connection READY" the packet driver must be already installed.
i.e. You would run LSPPP (e.g.) from autoexec or the DOS prompt and
then start Arachne. HOWEVER, I haven't tried this "Connection READY" with
LSPPP so I'm not sure it will work.
What I HAVE done is started one version of Arachne which loads LSPPP via
Connection @LSPPP.exe blahblahblah....
and then, with a working connection I copy my PPP.log to the directory
of a different version and after CD new version I start it with:
arachne -r
My suggestion to you is to let Arachne load LSPPP for you until you get
it working, and try the "Connection READY" method later - assuming that
you want to keep LSPPP loaded and connected for some reason.
If the above makes no sense to you then I have misunderstood your problem
and you should send me a copy of your Arachne.cfg.
Good luck.
