Thanx for the info Bastiaan, I find this stuff interesting!
How are you trying to get your PCs talking to each other?
I almost always use ssh, scp, sftp, on mine. That way I can
move files, remote control, X forwarding and such. I used
to use ssh4dos when I had a DOS box. I need to reload XP or
win2k to get them talking with windo$e. I had win2k on all
my harddrives, but I always end up putting a 'nix back on.
My 20giger has had 2k on it about half a dozen times now,
oh well. Reload again. I didn't realize your modem was
builtin to your router. I'm using Tomato firmware on my
router, that way I just use keys to login to my router and
all my boxes. I was using dd-wrt but I like Tomato better.
I pretty much never use telnet, BAD security. OK no security.
Your 98 box is prolly using Netbios or Netbui, I can't remember
if Netbui was around by 98. I'll use Samba to talk to a winbox.
Just installed it on my Slackware12.1 box last weekend,
already on my BSD PC.

Hey, Bastiaan
I hope this doesn't sound dumb, but I'm quite curious
and more than justa little confused by your posts. Are
you using a router on dialup?
I use a router and an ethernetcard. The ethernetcard is installed by
autoexec.bat that installs the driver: RTSPKT.EXE at 0x60
I had to use windows to find out the numbers for NameServer, Gateway and
Netmask (and a little help of Glennmcc).
In principle I now could dial-in (activate the build in ADSL-modem) but
that modem needs JavaScript commands... :-(
For some time I used windows to open the connection with a second
computer... not nice but this way it was possible to use Arachne.
A few month of thinking and experimenting were needed to solve the
JavaScript problem. In the 420 page documentation of the router/modem
the commands are discriped... and could be given in plain text by
telnet.
Another month to sort out EXACTLY how to do it with help of a friend
with more programming nowledge than i have...
In Arachne Connect is left blank so she thinks I am already on line.
A connect.bat that plays the telnet script is used to activate the
modem.
Functions very well in DOS and much faster than the connection in WinXP.
There is still one thing to solve... the router cann't be used to
connect to the other computer. Not in DOS, not with Arachne.
(Windows98 does it, same computer)
How to set up the network?
Also can't you just use
Bootp or DHCP between your computer and router? Or
even static addresses? Couldn't you just load an ethernet
card and driver, and stay always on between the router and
computer? Couldn't autoexec.bat load a NIC driver?
The com ports at the computer are not used... just the RJ-45 jack on the
ethernet card.
Are you using a com program? Sorry for all the questions.
I tried running Arachne in dosemu and tried to connect to
my router with no luck, but I really didn't spend any
time trying before I gave up. Wondering how you did it.
Rob
More questions? Ask, but I am not sure I know the right answers ;-)

Using Alt+D says Arachne is already on line which is not true since the
telnet commands should be given first to the router/modem.
When I use connect.bat direct (installed it under Shift+F6) then all is
OK but when Alt+D activates the same connect.bat "Arachne is already
on line" and nothing happens... the timer resets though.
Alt+D => connect.bat
connect.bat:
telnet.exe @connect.scr (=telnet script to connect the modem)
echo online > ppp.log
exit
Alt+H => hangup.bat
hangup.bat:
rem connect\termin.com 0x60
call discon.bat
if exist ppp.log del ppp.log
discon.bat:
telnet.exe @discon.scr (=telnet script to disconnect)
if exist ppp.log del ppp.log
exit
Timer resets on connect and disconnect... perhaps she is counting as
Arachne thinks she is still on line?
You are assuming that everyone uses Arachne as you do. When using Arachne
Nope, I'm quite aware of the fact that things could be very different
with constant connections.
in OS/2 one can jump to program window list, delete the session and restart
Arachne, press Alt-D and re-establish the connection. The modem did not lose
the connection. Arachne thinks it never disconnected.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
However, my core always knows when it's connected, unlike std. core
which, if you move to another copy or Arachne, thinks it's offline untill
you press Alt+D -- even tho that Alt+D doesn't really do anything but
create ppp.log. My core sniffs out the packet driver directly.
An installed packet driver does NOT mean Arachne is on line!!
Please leave Alt-D available anytime.
Yeah, I'd need a consensus to change it.
