I seem to be having trouble getting on to the internet through Compuserve. I followed the instructions given in a file I downloaded here by Erich Kuester in which he gets you started with AmiTCP.4.0demo and PPP130 but this is what I get in the popped up screen when I execute startnet; —————————————- ATDT16174269295 | CONNECT | 'CONNECT' received OK | SEND " " | WAIT "e:" | 19200 | Hoot Naie: | | 'e:' received OK | SEND "CIS" | WAIT "D:" | Uoer ED: | | 'D:' received OK | SEND "71216,755/GO:PPPCONNECT" | WAIT "d:" | Paoowora: -GI:PPPAINNAAO | —————————————- and the window just hangs until it times out. It looks for the small "d:" at the end of "Password:" but the screen isn't printing that. (in case you can't see them as I see them on my amiga's screen since I uploaded this message as a file, there are strange looking characters with funny symbols on the top of some lower case letters) These strange letters come up the same every time. They look like german symbols but I have my language set as english and American keyboard in my preferences. I have 19200 set in my serial preferences and the same in my ppp0.config so no conflict there. I have an Amiga 2000HD, a SupraTurbo accellerator, Workbench 3.1, a ZOOM 14400 modem and NO special graphics card. I'm calling Boston MA. I have no trouble using Baudbandit or JrComm. Whats happening? I'd appreciate any help. Thanks, MDEVOE PS: I also tried the iNTERiNSTALL1.52 by Chris Laprise. It came up with the same characters but continued pass the "Password:" prompt since his script only looked for ":" but it came up with a small window after a while that said "PPP FAILED!" and exited.

Marcel; <I have 19200 set in my serial preferences and the same in my ppp0.config so no conflict there.> Without more info on your settings, it's hard to focus in on our problem, but I would definitely increase the setting to 57600 both in ppp0.config and in serial preferences.

Marcel, >| SEND "71216,755/GO:PPPCONNECT" | WAIT "d:" >| Paoowora: -GI:PPPAINNAAO | Try the quick'n'dirty trick, substitute WAIT "d:" with WAIT "a:" !! On american keyboards you find this german umlaut by pressing ALT K releasing the keys and typing a lower a. On my last connections I saw a normal d: so be aware that your connection changes in the near future. In my case I add a WAIT "PPP" instead of WAIT "Please" as last line of my script. The strange letters are the normal letters but the high bit is set because CIS sends at your node with 7E1 and your PPP wants 8N1, but … do not worry about that. It will happen … you … surfing the net Erich
