Eric,
Don't know if you received a response or not to your question
about "DNS1" so I'll answer! DNS1, as well as DNS2, are used
by both LSPPP and WZPPP in place fo the DOS variable
DomainNameServer, or "DNS" in WATTCP apps. WZPPP will
use DNS1 setting for DNS "primary", DNS2 for "alternate", and
IIRC LSPPP handles it the same. So, you could use a BATCH
file to start Arachne that has a line similar to :
SET DomainNameServer=%DNS1%
SET DNS=%DNS1%
And so forth...also, you can add the DNS1, DNS2 settings into
your WATTCP.CFG file for those apps that require one.
C U L8R!
