Mosaic via. SLIP
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Mosaic will run over a SLIP or PPP connection. The most difficult
|
||
|
|
aspect is establishing the SLIP/PPP connection. Below is a brief description
|
||
|
|
for establishing a SLIP connection using a Shareware product called
|
||
|
|
Trumpet Software International Winsock version 1.0. This particular product
|
||
|
|
has an internal SLIP driver and an internal modem dialer. If you would
|
||
|
|
like to obtain a copy of this product you can find it at the anonymous
|
||
|
|
ftp site ftp.utas.edu.au. The file, twsk10a.zip, is located in the
|
||
|
|
/pc/trumpet/winsock directory. For the convenience of our users we
|
||
|
|
also keep a copy of this Shareware product on our anonymous ftp server,
|
||
|
|
ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu. The file, winsock.zip, is in the /PC/Mosaic/sockets
|
||
|
|
directory.
|
||
|
|
After you have installed the Trumpet Winsock according to it's
|
||
|
|
instructions, envoke tcpman.exe and select "Setup". Trumpet will
|
||
|
|
need the following information about the SLIP server you are connecting to.
|
||
|
|
Get this information from the company that is providing the SLIP service.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
IP address 0.0.0.0
|
||
|
|
Name server 0.0.0.0
|
||
|
|
Time sever 0.0.0.0
|
||
|
|
Domain Suffix the.name.of.your.domain
|
||
|
|
ie. "ncsa.uiuc.edu" is our domain.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Check "Internal SLIP" and enter in the port number and baud rate of your
|
||
|
|
modem. Save the information, click OK, and exit the program. Now, your
|
||
|
|
system should be configured properly. Next, envoke Trumpet again and use
|
||
|
|
the internal dialer option to place the call. Select the "Dialler" pull
|
||
|
|
down menu. You will probably take notice there a few options available,
|
||
|
|
however I will only discuss "Manual login" command. If you are interested
|
||
|
|
in creating a script then please refer to the Trumpet documentation. Once
|
||
|
|
you have selected Manual login you will need to enter the following command
|
||
|
|
in the Trumpet window.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
atdt xxx-xxxx (where the x's represent the phone number).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
NOTE: There are two ways to gain access to the Internet via SLIP:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1) If you have a static slip account, that is, you were assigned an IP number
|
||
|
|
that doesn't change.
|
||
|
|
- login to the server.
|
||
|
|
- Enter the command "slip".
|
||
|
|
- Hit the escape key.
|
||
|
|
- Double click on the Mosaic icon.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
2) If you log into a server that assigns you a random IP number.
|
||
|
|
- login to the server.
|
||
|
|
- Enter the command "slip".
|
||
|
|
- Select the "Setup" pull down menu.
|
||
|
|
- Enter this IP in the appropriate field.
|
||
|
|
Note: After you enter the new IP number you will get a message that
|
||
|
|
states you will have to close the application in order for this number
|
||
|
|
to take affect.
|
||
|
|
- Hit the escape key.
|
||
|
|
- Close Trumpet.
|
||
|
|
Note: This action will not cause you to loose your connection.
|
||
|
|
- Double click on the Mosaic icon.
