Help to get started with AmiTcp
Jarrod L. Karau
I dial in to a Xylogics Annex. I need to type PPP to start the PPP
connection. Depending upon whioch Port I get on the Annex, will
determin the IP I get.
Is there a set of files available for helping me? I have AmiTcp 2.0
installed right now on my Amiga 1200 with a Supra 14.4 fax/Modem. I have
the DNS, gateway, router IP's...
Thanks in Advance,
-Jarrod

There are several dialer scripts designed for this purpose. They are
available from AmiNET. For example:
DialupV3.03.lha comm/net 35K 17+PPP/SLIP dialer, final version (from me
amitcp_dial10.lha comm/tcp 10K 70+ARexx script for AmiTCP to dialup SLIP
Netdial4_0.lha comm/tcp 20K 8+An updated AREXX Dialer for AmiTCP 4.0
And more. I have not used any of the above programs as I wrote my own AREXX
dialer script for my own host.

Ewwww 2.0? Install at least 3.0b2 or you'll never get anywhere (since
that's required by most TCP apps these days). As for the dynamic IP, well I
think 3.0b2 and 4.* handle that differently. In 3.0b2 you basically edit
the startup script to use an IP address supplied by you on execution like
so:
.key IPADD
.bra {
.ket }
Then you put {IPADD} where your IP address is called for in the script.
Typing "startup yourIP" gets you going. But I don't think this applies
to 4.0+ (I use 3.0 so I'm not sure what to do on that version).

Although any of the dialers on AmiNet will be helpful for you, I strongly
recommend getting a PPP driver. PPP will automatically negotiate several
of the IP addresses for you, so you don't need to go searching through
strings from the host for you own IP address, etc.
I get dynamic addressing from an Annex as well, and PPP is the only thing
I've found that makes AmiTCP easy enough to work with.

In addition, PPP 1.30 allows the user to make a dialscript that automates
the login procedure to your host provider. The PPP.guide outlines an
example of a dialscript.
