|  |     You need to create (or modify) a script that is appropriate for your ISP.
    There is no "standard" login sequence.

|  |     I think there are some sample scripts for the usual cases (Compuserve,
    "standard" Unix whatever that is, etc.). I believe Ultranet uses Alphas
    - probably Unix but I don't know for sure). You can make the script
    supply the password you've define for the dial-up session.
    
    A simple sample script for Unix looks like this:
    
    proc main
    
       waitfor "login:"
       transmit $USERID, raw
       transmit "^M"
    
       waitfor "Password: "
       transmit $PASSWORD, raw
       transmit "^M"
    
    endproc

|  |     Here is the script that I use to login via a DECserver/PPP.  I
    understand what you are saying about the terminal window.  I can't
    figure out how to stop the terminal window from popping up while the
    script runs, either...
    
    ;
    ; This is a script file that demonstrates how
    ; to establish a PPP connection with a DECserver host
    ;
    ; A script file must have a 'main' procedure.

    ; procedure.

    proc main
    
       ; set screen keyboard off
       ; Change these variables to customize for your
       ; specific Internet service provider

       ; This is the password prompt and timeout values
    
       string szPWprompt = "#"
       integer nPWTimeout = 3
    
       ; This is the prompt once your password is verified
       string szLoginPrompt = "username"
    
       ; This is the prompt once your username is entered
       string szLocalPrompt = "Local>"

       string szUserName="SIMPSON"
    
       ; DECserver password
       string szPassword="password goes here"

|  |     I dial into Ultranet from NT 4.0 without using a
    (after connection) terminal window.
    
    I will check the details tonight but I'm sure the Script
    option is set to "None" and under Server tab set to
    "PPP - Windows NT, Windows 95 Internet ???" (I forget the exact
    wording here but there are other options available including SLIP).
    Network protocols set to just TCP/IP with (obviously ?) dynamic IP
    address assignment.
    
    Reply or drop a line if you are still having problems and I will
    check/send you my exact settings.
    
    -gerry

|  |     It depends on the ISP.  Some use real PPP authentication (PAP,
    CHAP, etc.) and some use interactive terminal style login.
    
    If it needs interactive terminal login, you'll need to make a script if
    you want it automated.  And, yes, the terminal window will pop up while
    it runs.  (Why is this a big deal?)

|  |     Before I added multiple numbers in the Dial Up Networking Monitor,
    whenever I would fire up a client while not connected, Dial Up
    Networking would automatically come up and ask if I wanted to dial
    the number. Now it doesn't do this anymore (since I added more numbers)
    and I can't figure out how to get this capability back. 
    
    Any help is appreciated.

| 5617.7 | No response from after dialup terminal | VMSNET::M_MACIOLEK | Four54 Camaro/Only way to fly | Thu Mar 06 1997 13:54 | 13 | 
|  |     What are some of the possible causes of the following:
    
    NT4.0, fire up dial up networking, call the PPP server, get the
    "after dialup terminal" deal, but I can't enter anything.  No
    pound sign, no nothing.  I can go to dos and run procom with NT4.0.
    
    Boot up NT3.51 and it works fine.
    
    I'm going to try and run a script from .3 I think to see if I can
    avoid the problem.... but I'd like to figure out what the problem is.
    
    Regards,
    MadMike

|  |     I used the script mentioned in .3, modified for my ppp server.
    All I get is a pop up box after a few seconds that says
    
    "The script has halted".
    I press "ok" and...  the regular error I was getting before pops up
    (error 630, or 619)... all ports connected or something.
    
    Right now I'm dialed in using nt3.51 ras.  Same modem, same ppp
    service, and all is fine.
    
    If I go to 4.0, it croaks.  I've tried generic modem, hayes accura
    14400, 144 + fax144... let NT select the hardware, deinstalled,
    reinstalled, reinstalled RAS, pop into hyperterm and dial in ok, pop into
    procom and call the PPP server.... but no RAS, or dialup networking.
    
    I've also tried a different modem, and lowered the speed on both...
    
    The thing that is bugging me is nt4.0 can see 3 of my disks.
    NT 3.51 can't see one of my 1.2GB drives... and I'm being slightly
    cautious here...
    
    I can't find enough information about the dialup routine to be able
    to figure out where the goof up is, like how does the hand off to/from
    the after dial terminal happen, what program and/or DLL's are in use...
