This is a very good advice, btw. GENESiS really is only (well, a bit more
than that, to be accurate) a graphical frontend to AmiTCP.
What will be really usefull for anyone who wants to do more with
AmiTCP-GENESiS than just simple PPP dial-ins, is the AmiTCP documentation
(and supposedly any BSD compatible TCP-stack documentation).
The AmiTCP stack has a powerful ARexx port, in addition to the ARexx port
of GENESiS ! GENESiS provides a simple command-set for logging in/out and
dialing/connecting interfaces. AmiTCP offers commands dealing with the
deeps of AmiTCP and allows lots of control over network internas.
You will find such documentation in the AmiTCP demo archive on Aminet.

Here is the reference for the GENESiS ARexx command set. Note, that
commands delivered by any MUI application have been stripped to save
space.
Command Template
------- --------
user NAME,PW=PASSWORD/K
online IF=IFACENAMES/M,ALL/S
offline IF=IFACENAMES/M,ALL/S
isonline IF=IFACENAME,ANY/S
window OPEN/S,CLOSE/S
This part of the command set is compatible with the same functions
of MIAMI, by the way.
As with any MUI application you can get the template of the ARexx commands
it supports by the little script I have attached below.

That is the best way, IMO. It also seems to me that GENESiS clutters some
of the prefs files (try creating long host and alias lines)

Sure :-) But then....you will whish yourself back to GENESiS ;-)
