CompuServe Thread

This is a brief rundown of how I configured PPP1.3 and AmiTCP4.0 to run on my system. I use it with DaFTP, AMosaic, Grapevine, Gopher, Archie, and GUI-FTP all without any problems. AmiTCP:db/interfaces should have this line added: <<<< ppp0 DEV=Devs:Networks/ppp.device UNIT=0 IPTYPE=33 NOARP P2P >>>> AmiTCP:db/resolv.conf should read: <<<<< ; Name servers NAMESERVER 149.174.64.41 ; Domain names DOMAIN compuserve.com >>>> My startnet script reads: (located in AmiTCP:bin) <<<<< AmiTCP:bin/online ppp0 AmiTCP:AmiTCP WaitForPort AMITCP ; Configure loop-back device AmiTCP:bin/ifconfig lo0 localhost ; Configure ppp0 AmiTCP:bin/ifconfig ppp0 $ppp0IPLocal $ppp0IPRemote ; Add route to this host AmiTCP:bin/route add $ppp0IPLocal localhost ; Add route to the default gateway AmiTCP:bin/route add default $ppp0IPRemote SetEnv HOSTNAME `AmiTCP:bin/hostname` Assign >NIL: TCP: EXISTS IF WARN Mount TCP: FROM AmiTCP:devs/inet-mountlist EndIF ; Start the internet `super server' Run <NIL: >NIL: AmiTCP:bin/inetd run >NIL: AmiTCP:bin/CLChatServer Assign Inet: AmiTCP: setenv SOCKETCONFIG "UID=100 GID=100 USER=71732.3311 DOMAIN=compuserve.com UMASK=000" loadlib AmiTCP:libs/socket.library >>>> Note that the CLChatServer you would not normally include. It is an add-on that allows you to run as a client/server for chatting. Also note that the Inet: assign, the SOCKETCONFIG, and the socket.library are to make AS225R2 apps runnable on AmiTCP 4.0 and require the socket.library v 1.2. My ENVARC:SANA2/ppp0.config reads: <<<< dialer.device 0 19200 0.0.0.0 7WIRE LOG=40 REMOTEIP=149.174.64.25 >>>> Note that I replaced serial.device with dialer.device. You could easily use the PPP dial script as well. I happen to like the dialer.device for dial control.
