Hi list, when I started to clean up hard disks I found quite a few Arachne issues that I would like to share with or even to solve with someone's help.
The first one is this: Glenn's Arachne 171UE includes as an alternative dialer and driver David Landauer's lsppp.exe (version 0.7x). It is a smaller smaller and newer packet driver program still supported by its author that could probably entirely replace epppd.exe AND miniterm.exe. But I discovered: 1. With some providers and some lower end PC lsppp oviously does not connect as well as epppd. Therefore to replace one program by the other would probably not be a good idea. Has anybody experienced a considerable increase in performance with lsppp? 2. The latest version of lsppp 0.8 not yet included in Glenn's distribution behaves differently than epppd. In arachne.cfg it has to be written to only ONE line: ----------------- lsppp.acf 0.8 ---------------- Profile LSPPP.ACF Connection READY Hangup @termin.com 0x60>NUL [dialer] DialPage file:ppp_fast.htm Dialer @LSPPP.EXE>PPP.LOG ----------------------------------------------------- instead of the old way ----------------- lsppp.acf 0.7 ---------------- Connection @lsppp.exe>>PPP.LOG Hangup @termin.com 0x60>NUL [dialer] DialPage file:ppp_fast.htm Dialer @lsppp.exe>PPP.LOG ----------------------------------------------------- Is there a reason to use or not to use the last version? What is your experience?
