AmiTCP-2.2.config
2 messages in this thread
ANYONE,
I have recently downloaded AmiTCP-2.2 from the Networking library and am
having a few problems getting it to run from the installation.
It installed OK onto the partition I selected and I was surprised to see
it could not be started via an icon. It seems only able to be started via
the shell. with the command:-
run "AmiTCP:bin/startnet"
I checked the documentation again and found that I had to alter the
configuration file.
Problem is I have found two configuration files …
a) AmiTCP-2.2/bin/ifconfig
b) AmiTCP-2.2/db/AmiTCP.config
I assume that it is the latter that I configurate …
The question is how do I alter the configuration? I tried double-clicking
on the icon but was only asked to "Enter Command Arguments:" The command
AmiTCP.config was already in place so I OK'd that and got back …
"AmiTCP.config: file is not executable
"AmiTCP.config failed returncode 10"
This is where I am stuck and any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
IAIN.

Iain,
AmiTCP is a cli based product and it's configuration reflects this.
Startnet is normally appended to s:user-startup and starts the networking
software on reboot.
AmiTCP:bin/ifconfig is used to set up the slip interface and is actually
called in startnet so you don't need to worry about that one.
Finally, AmiTCP.config is automatically built during installation.
Briefly, to get connected you need to configure your modem not to drop
carrier on DTR toggle, (AT&D) on the USRobotics range, then –
run startnet
dial into Demon using eg TERM
when you are connected quit TERM
type 'online slip.device 0' or whatever interface/unit you have chosen.
