I've also tried to follow the online page for configuring Newton for
Earthlink dialup. After rasslin' with it for a while, here's what I have
come up with:
Protocol: PPP
Configuration: Server
Access Number: (you can guess what goes here)
User ID: use the primary user ID, if you have several
Put your Password in, of course
Tap Continue
Primary DNS/Name Server Address: 207.217.126.81
Domain Name: earthlink.net
Tap Done
Now Tap Login Script
Send: ELN/
Send: <your username as above>
Send: carriage return
Wait for: ord:
Send: Password
Send: carriage return
Beep
Time out: mine's set for 60 sec.
I've also chosen to display the script activity, which helps as you iron
out your particulars with the script. I just haven't unchecked it. I like to
watch what's going on when I connect, which helps me to make sure each
connection behaves itself.
That's it! Hope that helps.
