#Where is AmiTCP 4.0?
16 messages in this thread
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,
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,
I know that I would appreciate that text file.

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.

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?

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.

Why do use the dialer.device when PPP includes its own dialer?
Mr. Zombie
I like the integration of the dialer.device. It gives me more control over the
scripting.

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
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.
