anyone, I am trying to browse the internet thru compuserve. I keep getting funny characters coming thru. Is it possible to browse the internet thru compuserve on an Amiga, and can you do it with Autopilot? Or do you have to get on hands on? Any help appreciated!!! Dee

Hi Dee, If you have OS2.04 or greater then get the following files from the AmigaUser libraries to browse the Internet: IINST.LHA – Lib 5 or ICIS.LHA – Lib 5 ; install script PPP130.LHA – Lib 5 ; ppp 1.30 TCP30B2.LHA – Lib 4 ; AmiTCP/IP MOSTCP.LHA – Lib 4 ; Internet browser (Amiga port of Mosaic) The IINST.LHA or ICIS.LHA files will perform all the required tasks to install PPP and AmiTCP, which are needed for AMosaic. You can of course install these yourself but its frustrating and time consuming so I wouldn't recommend it. The script should make everything very easy! Ciao, Terry Cooper, Sailing the fjords on Autopilot.

Small correction: PPP130.LHA – Lib 4 ; ppp 130 (it's not in lib 5)… –Jim

Hi Dee, Please see message #210158…this covers all the software you need and includes Chris Laprise's internet install script. I would substitute TCP4.lha(AmiTCP4-demo) because the latest version of AMosaic(the Amiga Web Browser) needs AmiTCP4 or higher. TCP4.lha is in the libs here. This should get you started. Myself and others will be happy to help. >I keep getting funny characters coming thru< What are you doing when you get these characters??? AutoPilot is not meant for Internet browsing, it is for INet mail exchange, CIS email, and forum messaging and file transfer. Tom tbarker@empirenet.com
