Cristian,
Two things:
Write down what the screen says at that 56K line, so you can
attempt to get a new *valid* login script into Arachne.cfg ...
Try setting up another ACF with the configuration to use BOOTP
even though it would be a PPP connection; I think the PPP part goes
into the WATTCP file or somewhere like that .... the worst that could
happen is that it doesn't work AS LONG AS YOU REMEMBMER TO BACK UP
EVERYTHING YOU CHANGE *BEFORE* YOU CHANGE IT.
Youse Guyz -- I know I've seen discussion of how to use BOOTP on a
dialup on this list before. Maybe see if you can figure out a way to
help Cristian ...
