[arachne] Re: Invalid Packet Address Error

Arachne at FreeLists---The Arachne Fan Club!

Hi,

I connected to the Internet using "WIZDIAL" and your Internet Package,
but of course can not exit it without it disconnecting, so assume I need
to edit the .BAT file so I can start Arachne?

Also, when I use your package to surf the web (not Arachne), I can go to
various web pages but how do I enter information? For example I know the
E-mail page wants my user name and password but don't see that prompt,
which is why I thought I needed Java Script capability.

I also am trying to use LSPPP as suggested by Joe De Silva but so far no
luck.

Thanks,

Jerry
