You will find the demo version of AmitTCP/IP 4.0 in library 4 (Networking) as TCP4.LHA. This is the file description. AmiTCP/IP v4.0 is the most videly used TCP/IP protocol stack for the Amiga. AmiTCP/IP utilizes the standard Sana-II network device drivers and provides an application level socket interface to the Internet protocol suite as an Amiga shared library. This is a fully functional demo of a commercial produt. AmiTCP/IP is propiertary, copyrighted product of the NSDi – Network Solutions Development Inc, Finland. For PPP access via Compuserve, you will need the PPP device found in the same library as PPP130.LHA. I recommend using the dialer.device in place of serial.device as it automates the connection process. If anyone is interested, I can detail how I set everything up. -Jonathan MAC Quadra/486PC compatible courtesy Amiga, Emplant and BB. Emplant beta tester. Running AP v1.80.

Jonathan, Setting up for Internet using AmiTCP PPP etc!!! I am very interested, I can't get the damb thing to connect, I feel I am flying blind, I must have missed something. With the CIS announcement of full connection to the Internet, I have tried to set up the system. But I have not seen any where that lists the steps required. My logon script seems to be the problem. Any help would be appreciated. I Have AmiTCP 4.0 demo, PPP 1.30, Gpher, Amosaic etc. They seem to be setup but I cant get the StartNet script to actually connect to CIS etc.. Regards Leonard

OK, I will try to create a text file that summarizes what is needed to get going. -Jonathan MAC Quadra/486PC compatible courtesy Amiga, Emplant and BB. Emplant beta tester. Running AP v1.80. E-mail: JonathanB@delrina.com http://www.delrina.com

Jonathan, I know that I would appreciate that text file. // Christian – AP 1.80 \X/ Only Amiga Makes It Possible

No, we don't want any help! <BG> I'd be more than grateful. This whole thing seems overwhelmingly complicated. Mr. Zombie

Paul, First of all, install PPP v1.30. Then reinstall AmiTCP v4.0 _exactly_ as described in the PPP doc (guide file, actually). Then, change the file AmiTCP:db/resolv.conf to contain 2 lines, they are DOMAIN compuserve.com NAMESERVER 149.174.64.41 Someone else already posted their dialscript, I'll repeat it here because it works … ECHO ON TIMEOUT 1500 SEND "ATDT <your local node phone number>" WAIT "CONNECT" SEND "" WAIT "e:" SEND "CIS" WAIT "D:" SEND "<your user id>/GO:PPP89" WAIT "ord:" SEND "<your password>" WAIT "please…" DELAY 50 ECHO OFF At that point you'll be connected — run AMosaic (be prepared to crash a lot, that is one piece of extremely buggy software), archie, gopher, or whatever else you want to run. -sja

Thanks Steve. I and I'm sure plenty of other people appreciate your help. Mr. Zombie

The current beta of AS225 AMosaic almost never crashes on my 3.1 systems — which versions are you running? dale@iam.com http://www.iam.com Intangible Assets Manufacturing

I think Steve's using AmiTCP with Amosaic. I can run both AmiTCP and AS225 here, and I'll give it a shot once I upgrade to 3.1 to see if I can get it to behave.

I'm running the AmiTCP version. I can crash it (usually not on purpose, I say away from those) at least once every 5 minutes — I'm going to drop down to an earlier version.

WHen I have had problems, it seemed like most of them were MUI-related. I guess I also subconsiously avoid some of the things which I remember have caused problems in the past. dale@iam.com http://www.iam.com Intangible Assets Manufacturing

Why do use the dialer.device when PPP includes its own dialer? Mr. Zombie
#192878From: Jonathan BlackwellApr 17, 1995 12:35 AM
I like the integration of the dialer.device. It gives me more control over the scripting. -Jonathan MAC Quadra/486PC compatible courtesy Amiga, Emplant and BB. Emplant beta tester. Running AP v1.80. E-mail: JonathanB@delrina.com http://www.delrina.com

How do you use it? Is is the dialup.lha file here? Maybe it'll fix my problems–although the ppp guide says the registered version has better dialing control. Do you have the registered version of PPP? If so, was there a real performance gain over the unregistered version? Mr. Zombie
#192903From: Jonathan BlackwellApr 17, 1995 4:19 AM
It is not the DIALUP.LHA file, but the DIALER.LHA file and the description mentions that it is a dialer.device that replaces the serial.device in your ppp0.config. I don't have the registered PPP, but I am going to register. -Jonathan MAC Quadra/486PC compatible courtesy Amiga, Emplant and BB. Emplant beta tester. Running AP v1.80.

Oh, OK, thanks, I'll try that, since dialing seems to be the root of my problem. Mr. Zombie
