If you use SSHDOS version 0.91 by Nagy Daniel you *must* have a
WATTCP.CFG because this program is a WATTCP application.  This
is what the author tells us in his documentation.

You don't need a WATTCP.CFG to use CUTCP Telnet.  This program is
*not* a WATTCP application.  I don't know how Clarence can dial up
his ISP and get a dynamically assigned IP address if he doesn't
have a "path.cfg" or some other cfg file that serves the same
purpose.  For loading EPPPD I have to have a routine within a batch
file that looks like this in order to get an IP address:

-----------
:DIAL
rem dial up the ISP
NETDIAL BASE 0x3F8 IRQ 4 115200
epppd base 0x3F8 irq 4 pktvec 0x60 115200 asyncmap 0 crtscts -vj +ua pap.dat
namsrv 204.111.1.35
call IP-UP.bat
echo my_ip=%MYIP% > path.cfg
echo gateway=%remip% >> path.cfg
echo netmask=%netmask% >> path.cfg
echo nameserver=204.111.1.35 >> path.cfg
   echo nameserver=204.111.1.36 >> path.cfg
copy path.cfg c:\arachne > nul
echo Ip address set to %MYIP%
-------------
For LSPPP I have a routine that looks like this:

-----------
lh lsppp /n:1 /i:4 /M:AT&F&C1&D2 /B:115200 /U:sheywood /P:password /d:9849676
if exist IP-UP.bat call IP-UP.bat
if not exist ip-up.bat goto problem
echo.
echo my_ip=%MYIP% > path.cfg
echo gateway=%remip% >> path.cfg
echo netmask=%netmask% >> path.cfg
echo nameserver=%dns1% >> path.cfg
echo nameserver=%dns2% >> path.cfg
copy path.cfg c:\arachne > nul
echo Ip address set to %MYIP%
------------

If Clarence uses a routine similar those examples above, then he
probably has designated some other name to use for his config file.
He could just as well have used "haywired.cfg" in place of "path.cfg"
and it would still work just the same.  I think most people might
prefer "path.cfg", but that is just a matter of personal preference.
Clarence can call his whatever he wants.  Of course his config file
will have the same functionality no matter what you he names it, but
he *must* have a file named WATTCP.CFG in order to get some DOS
internet applications to work.

My first line in my WATTCP.CFG is "include=path.cfg"

CUTCP Telnet *requires* a CONFIG.TEL file.

I would suggest changing line 14 to read "capfile=capture.txt", or
use some filename of your own choosing. BTW, whenever you turn
screen capture on it always appends to the existing capture file
rather than overwriting it.

You might want to add some stuff at the bottom similar to this and
as appropriate for your own ISP:
-------
name=mymainserver
host=norm.shentel.net
hostip=204.111.1.35
nameserver=1

name=backupserver
host=sherman.shentel.net
hostip=204.111.1.36
nameserver=2

name=mygateway
host=norm.shentel.net
hostip=204.111.1.35
gateway=1
--------
Also there are many other keywords and values that you can set up
in your CONFIG.TEL.  The Arachne APM doesn't give you the whole
stack of cards.  You can even set up screen colors and text colors
for example, as I did.  To get the complete package go to the Clarkson
University download page.  I'm sorry I don't have the URL handy.

I hope my input has helped.
