Hi Arachne addicts ! As I predicted , but sooner than had believed , I am hereby reporting full success with fixing my Arachne . I just doed it on a 486 DX2 , now I am confident I can do it again with the 286 which was the intended 'target' :~)
Wish to thank you again for greeting the newbie so warmly ; it gave me the incentive to look at that thing again , and here we are ! What was I doing wrong ? In a word I must had messed up the com port settings in the ppdrc.cfg file and/or the arachne.cfg - probably both ! ( must say this 'puter has its modem hooked up to a rather unusual Com 3 / IRQ 7 / 3e8 ) Now just one or 2 minor questions : - In the sample Arachne.cfg there is room for an "AltNameServer" , not so in the "ppdrc.cfg" , or may I add it there too ? - Maybe many of you have got multiple POP servers , how do you manage to poll more than one ? ( Must say I haven't tried the pop/smtp with arachne yet) Can you switch the POP settings while connected ? Can you automate the process ? - Can you configure Arachne for an AOL connection ? ( OK !!! just kidding :) - My Arachne here is version # 1.50 "stable release candidate" 5/7/99 . Any objection to staying with it as is ? - Merci ... -- Steph'
