Re: What are most common problems for newbies ?
That's a problem. If you have something on 1 and 2 with a modem on 4, and if PPPDRC.cfg says the modem is on com 2, EPPPD will not try the address for port 4. I think. No one has this problem now. They have fixed it with a workaround program that modifies the bios list or they have moved their modem. But new users with a modem on com 4 WILL have the problem if there is nothing on com 3. Please, someone back me up on this. g - Clarence Verge Sorry, I can't back you up. Under straight DR-DOS or MS-DOS, EPPPD and CHAT, or NETDIAL and EPPPD, find my modem at 0x2e8 but don't recognize COM4. Then I can run Arachne (DR-DOS but not MS-DOS for insufficient low memory) with Connection READY and Hangup NUL. In OS/2 Warp 4 VDM, EPPPD and CHAT actually recognize COM4. IRQ is 5. Arachne and UKA_PPP dialers are rather tricky. EPPPD and CHAT, or NETDIAL and EPPPD, offer me better control of what happens; more direct setup.

I'll try and coordinate my work with another person (Arcaky Belousov) - getting it to work with Ricsis mouse would be a good thing for instance. BTW: Anyone trying to see the post on the freedos site (that Florian reported about earlier) about CTMouse 1.7 is out of luck - I asked Jim Hall to remove it until I've atleast tried to fix the bugs and perhaps add some features (simulating a third mouse button for instance on two button mice (not that I could get the third button to actually do anything in Arachne when I tried yesterday)). And Bernie doesn't need you to stick up for him, really! He's a big boy and can fight any battles he chooses to. He doesn't need you wading into the fray to "rescue" him and simply muddy the waters. Let me quote the mails ahead before I explain my thoughts on the matter. L.D: It wouldn't be nice to recommend *any* software that is that unflexible. Ricsi: Bernie put much enegry into this. And IMHO that's great !! The Documentation is not lying ... but there is a bug in the code, which prevents port autodetection. Bernie is already searching for it ... but he has very few time. IMO the documentation *is* lying if the program isn't able to autodetect where the mouse is (on com1/2). I can't get even 1.2 to work so I wonder if it ever worked. I don't think that Ricsi was "sticking up for me" - if someone here says that "Arachne can't do [insert feature of choice]!" and someone else says "Michael is working on it as fast as he can." (if that's true of course - Flash isn't one of them for instance) then I don't think that second person is sticking up for Michael, only explaining things so Michael can keep on working on the feature (or atleast do something else). IMHO Ricsi was stating that he thought it was good that I've worked on CTMouse (not that anyone has said the opposite). And actually I'm not activly searching for it yet... but I do have two ideas - hardware reseting the mouse should report an error if no mouse is at that com-port or remove Mouse System mode (this can't report an error). I wonder what would happen to a modem (or printer) if I try to do the first idea.

Newbees bootgui=0 is OK
Bastiaan, In order to change a read only file, you have to remove the read only attribute, thus: ATTRIB -r msdos.sys To remove all attributes (read only, system, hidden) you would use: ATTRIB -r -s -h msdos.sys To remove all attributes from all files in a directory, you would: ATTRIB -r -s -h *.* On one of my computers, I use a commercial multi-boot program called, System Commander (www.v-com.com). It permits you to divide your hard drive into partitions for various operating systems and it "hides" the inactive partition from the active partition. This is an advantage when you have logical drives as adding a drive in one partition does not re-letter the drives in the inactive partition(s). There are also freeware/shareware boot managers available, but I don't know if they will "hide" the inactive partitions. PCTOOLS, prior to version 5 (IIRC), would only operate on drives less than 32 MB. Your 286 probably has an MFM or RLL hard drive that is within that range, thus PCTOOLS would have no problem. Hope this helps.

Thanks.
Thank you about your suggestions what are the most needed improvements in next releases. As usually, the conclusion of all your comments is simply, that I have to improve and change *everything* ;-) I was in fact thinking mainly about changes in default configuration, not changes in code... so main change in configuration will be removing unnecessary Waitfor/Receive, and commenting out "external/smtp" and "external/pop3", as it is confusing sometimes, especially if you have Autodial No, which already is and always will be default (dialer must be configured first, before you can autodial...). And I will add some free mouse driver to Arachne package, to simplify running Arachne in raw Windows 9x DOS mode. I can relatively easily add new ways to autodetect modems, if you can give me tips which autodetect process works for your modem - I have changed my original "ATZ" request to "ATH" - but maybe I should try both "ATZ" and "ATH", as some modems correctly reply to first string and some to second... but which one should I try first, and which latter ? -- http://arachne.cz/ (Arachne WWW browser for DOS+Linux / Webhosting / MP3streaming)

Suggestions for Arachne
Just thinking on ways to improve Arachne : * Removing the hardware system specific portion of Arachne.cfg and putting it into (say) system.cfg Then the profiles will be more portable on different machines with Arachne installed. The wizard structure would also change. There would be a separate hardware configuration wizard which is run the first time you install Arachne which will write the settings to SYSTEM.CFG Then you can have a profile wizard to create profiles for different ISPs and/or email accounts for you or other persons who use Arachne. * Import the settings from Win9x DUN. If a Win9x user puts the Dial Up Networking on his/her desktop, it creates a text file with the extension .DUN in C:\WINDOWS\DESKTOP. Many of the settings that can be used to create a profile is in this DUN file. Perhaps Arachne could use this if during the install rountine it detects the existence of DUN files in C:\WINDOWS\DESKTOP (I was thinking of including a VBS script to access the Win9x registry to get these things but I suspect many Win9x users would have removed the Windows Scripting Host (think Windows batch files) needed to do this with the outbreak of the Love Bug virus/worm) Dev Teelucksingh [EMAIL PROTECTED] Interesting DOS programs at http://www.opus.co.tt/dave Trinidad and Tobago Computer Society at http://www.ttcsweb.org

There are 3 ways you can connect to your ISP with Arachne. First,
(obviously) is the manual login like you are already doing. After
you enter your password you will probably see what are commonly
described as "garbage characters" (lots of {{{ brackets and some
other characters). When you see these hit F7 or ALT-P and the packet
driver should load and Arachne will reappear and your home page
should start downloading if everything is working correctly.
It is a good idea to get everything working manually before
setting up for terminal autologin or PAP/CHAP authentication. Second,
you can go to the Arachne Internal PPP manual setup and enter
the prompts you see during manual login and your responses you enter
in the appropriate blocks of the autologin section. Also remove the
extra hyphens in the unused prompts/response boxes. Make sure you
have the Show Terminal option enabled till you get everything working
and then you can disable this and you won't have to watch the login
process. Third, if your ISP supports PAP/CHAP authentication you only
need to enter your username and password in the PAP/CHAP section and
enable autologin or you can watch the login in terminal and simply
hit F7 or ALT-P when you see the connect message from your modem.
Once you get the manual login working you can try the autologin
and/or PAP/CHAP authentication as described. I hope this helps.
