No, I think you've understood me fine, could you tell me what line I need to
add to the ARACHNE.CFG file as I'm not good with this as I'm a newbie with
Arachne, as you said it has to be something like:
> Connection @LSPPP.exe blahblahblah...."
but could you be more specific as I'm not sure what to add to the line as if
I can get Arachne to dial with LSPPP and connect with it and then let me
browse the web it'd be great. Thanks so much.
Sincerely
Curtis Matthiesen
