By "the printers" I did not mean a printing machine, but the institution
that prints books and magazines.

I have several printers that print out documents with Arachne and i hope
they will live forever... since I think it will not be easy to buy a new
DOS printer.

3) Configuration

When dialing the modem sends the following configuration string:

ATZ

Also if /dm:# is specified the modem will be told to mute the speaker.

At any time before LSPPP goes resident, you may press 'esc' to end the 
session and hang up.

Configuration options are as follows:

/a:$    set async map
        set an asynchronous control map.  Characters in the map will be
        treated as purely control characters and will be escaped during
        transmission.  For example if the modem uses XON and XOFF you 
        would specify a map of 0x000A0000.  
        The default is a map of zero, meaning no characters are escaped.

/b:$    Comm port

        Set a base i/o port.  For example /b03f8
        default: /b:03f8

/d[r][m][f][l][e]:* Dial [redial] phone number

        Set the phone number to dial.  The redial option is not 
        supported yet.  The 'm' option tells lsppp to mute the speaker.
        The 'f' option forces it to dial even when it thinks it is 
        already connected (useful with winmodems).  
                   ************************
Does this mean lsppp.exe can be used to make a winmodem dial?????
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The 'l' option
        causes lsppp to initially attempt a terminal-mode login before
        attempting to connect with the PPP protocol.  The 'e' option
        causes lsppp to dial with 'ATX3D' instead of 'ATD', which 
        should be useful in Europe where no dial tone exists.
         Example:  /d:5551214 
         Example:  /d:P5551214 this does pulse dialing 
        default: LSPPP does not dial

/h or /?

        Displays the help text
