Hi Curtis;
Well, I haven't made exhaustive tests, but I got my Arachne dialing with
LSPPP and working. There are a couple of complications, depending on your
sensitivities. I don't like to see unnecessary crap on the screen so I
re-direct that stuff to a file or nul. I couldn't manage to keep the
screen clear with the required full command line so I had to put some
of it in the environment. There will be those that say PUT IT ALL THERE.
I don't like to waste memory, so I won't.
Anyway, with NO change to the "Connection" line from previously advised,
here is my new Dialer line: (all on one line)
Dialer @EPPPD.exe /b:03e8 /i:4 /B:57600 /M:AT&fL1W2\V1
/d:9055408968 >>PPP.LOG
Remember that *MY* LSPPP has been renamed to EPPPD for dumb Arachne 1.62.
Now it gets complicated. I don't use a terminal login, and my username
and password get transferred under PPP. (No script) That means that
LSPPP needs the name and password *NOW*, not later when Arachne tries
to execute the "Connection" line. If the proper password isn't available
right now, LSPPP will use its default (?nothing?) and will fail - exiting
with an error and Arachne will re-try. :((
If I stick the /N:stuff + /U:stuff +/P:stuff on the line above before the
redirection symbols, the login works but the re-direction doesn't.
That was LSPPP v0.72. So I have to waste some environment memory on that
stuff like this: SET LSPPP=/N:199.212.94.65 /U:caverge /P:****** /V:60
You can put that line in your Autoexec.bat.
Note I call LSPPP by its proper name because IT doesn't know it has been
renamed. <G>
The above will not work for you if you need a terminal login. (script)
I won't include the details of the required changes here because we
might be lucky.
That's it for now, read LSPPP.doc to get some better idea of what I've
done, and let us know which Arachne and LSPPP versions you are dealing
with if it doesn't work.
Good luck.
P.S. Note that LSPPP is *CASE SENSITIVE* to command characters.
