Welcome to the world of "windows-free" browsing. :))) > Now just one or 2 minor questions : > - - In the sample Arachne.cfg there is room for an "AltNameServer" , not so > in the "ppdrc.cfg" , or may I add it there too ? Yes, it will be added to pppdrc.cfg the next time you connect. (if you place it into arachne.cfg). You see... pppdrc.cfg gets rewritten every time you connect. You can add the AltNameServer into arachne.cfg manually. It can also be done using the internal setup screens inside of Arachne. 1) press "O" to get the Options screen 2) link to the "TCP/IP Setup" button 3) link to the "Internal PPP support" button You'll see entry fields for 1st DNS (required) and 2nd DNS (optional) Enter the 2nd one and scroll to the bottom of the page to save it into Arachne.cfg The next time you connect, it will be written into the new pppdrc.cfg > - - Maybe many of you have got multiple POP servers , how do you manage > to poll more than one ?

All I do is keep a seperate .ACF for each pop/smtp account And yes, you can do the switching while still connected. > - - Can you configure Arachne for an AOL connection ?

If that's the one you like... use it. :))) With all of the added features..... you will have a VERY nice surprize when you jump right from 1.5 to 1.8 ;-) -- Glenn http://arachne.cz/ http://freedos-32.sourceforge.net/ http://www.delorie.com/listserv/mime/ http://www.angelfire.com/id/glenndoom/download.htm
