AmiTCP
That last problem is simple – before you dial out with your modem, give it
the command AT&D0. This tells the modem to keep the connection when the
terminal program exits. Simple huh?
Really, you cannot expect to make internet software work easily – it's
just not as simple as using CIS. Have some respect for networks that have
been in operation since the sixties. Buy a book (I recommend Dale's –
shameless plug) about the subject, it'll all become clear to you.
Personally, I work at a helpdesk for PC's at a university. When I came to
work there, I knew about PC's and Amigas but I didn't know the first thing
about networks. We use a WAN with Novell's IPX and TCP/IP. Just by trying
and reading books I learned a lot. When I went home one day with a disk
containing AmiTCP, I expected a lot of hassle. But no! Installation was a
breeze – because I knew what the jargon meant. The installation is
enormously flexible and can do very much very fast. Ever tried setting up
a TCP/IP link on a PC? Brrrr…
