can I use mgettty as an NT-RAS Server with callback ... (long reply)

• Messages sorted by:[ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ]

With this script it works fine with /AutoPPP/
--------------
 proc main

   waitfor "login:" until 10
   if FALSE == $SUCCESS then
     goto error
   endif

   transmit "cb"
   transmit $USERID
   transmit "^M"    ; for calback users i use the string "cb" and "$USERID"
so i can use both featchers

   waitfor "callback" until 10  ; the string "callback" is sendinging from
the callback program when everything is OK for callback
   if FALSE == $SUCCESS then
     goto error
   endif

   delay 25
   waitfor "CONNECT" until 60  ;wait for callback, after 1 Minute cancel
   if FALSE == $SUCCESS then
     goto error
   endif

   goto continue

 error:
   transmit "+++"    ;reset the modem and exit
   delay 3
   transmit "AT&C1&D2S0=0^M"
   delay 1
   transmit "AT&F0^M"
   set screen keyboard on
   halt

 continue:
 endproc
