Colin's ppp.exe page

As a result of mucking around with Maccasoft's Internet Gate and finding the DIAL.LOG file it leaves behind, it struck me that the actual file seems to have the correct syntax to run ppp from the command line (something that has always eluded me in the past). So I cut and pasted one line from it into a .CMD file, ran it and it works.

This means I can do without Dial Other Internet Providers now. You clever people out there probably already knew, but I didn't. So here it is:-

PPP com2 115200 mru 1500 rtscts modem defaultroute priority 1 exit user haynes97.freeserve.co.uk name haynes97.freeserve.co.uk secret password connect "slattach AT&F1X0M0 OK ATDT08450796699 CONNECT"

This should be cut and pasted from here as one line into your favourite editor and saved as a .CMD file. Change the following:-

com2 to com1 if that's the port your modem is on
haynes97.freeserve.co.uk to your dialin login id
password to your password
ADTD08450796699 to ADTDyourISPphonenumber

That's it.

Email me if you want some more information.
