Either it isn't waiting long enough for the PPP connection to come up,
or you have something else setup wrong.
I know I have some sort of connection (PPP tells me that I'm connected,
whatever that means, to the earthlink IP address)
Before you mess around getting Emailer to connect to earthlink itself,
make sure you can get the Mac to connect manually. So fully setup the
PPP client, and then connect to earthlink and make sure you can browse
the web. Once all that works, THEN go back and try to get Emailer to
work right.
I will need to find some sort of browser for this old box.
If I had some sort of terminal window on the IIvx (like on my MacBook),
I suppose I could talk to the earthlink POP server manually. Do you
have any idea if there is some sort of log on the old macs that keep
track of this sort of thing?
I don't want to spend half my life fussing with a machine that I am
discovering is remarkably obsolete. There are probably more efficient
ways to learn about PPP and TCP/IP ;-)
Thanks!
PS- I see you have some RealBasic stuff on your website: I wonder if
there is a way that I might use some canned RealBasic script to be able
to talk manually to the earthlink server from my MacBook and possibly
learn in this way specifically what "commands" the earthlink POP server
is not happy with?
