A DOS dialer and AT&T Worldnet Service
These are instructions for installing and running a PPP package for DOS that works on AT&T Worldnet Service. The shareware file only supports PAP (works with AT&T Worldnet Service) and has NO time limits (does not break after 15 minutes)
Note: You will need to find your AT&T Worldnet Service account information.
To configure the DOS dialer:
- Get the pppshare.exe file from: Klos Technologies
- Make a new directory called, ppp, and expand this file there, by just executing it. You will see the following files:

-------------------- cut here ---------------------------- - Create a file called WATTCP.CFG in the same directory, with the following contents:
-------------------- cut here ----------------------------
ppp = 1
my_ip = 207.116.36.180
netmask = 255.255.255.0
gateway = 207.116.36.1
nameserver = 204.127.129.4
-------------------- cut here ----------------------------
The IP addresses for my_ip and gateway will be wrong, but they will be automatically updated later, by the pppwat program. - Execute, from the DOS command prompt, the following commands in exact sequence
lsl
ppp
ipstub
pppmenu 5551212 (put here the appropriate Worldnet number)
pppstate ipaddr (should show you your new dynamic IP)
pppwat (will update the file WATTCP.CFG)
Now you are ready to run any TCP/IP program that talks to a packet driver, such as NCSA Telnet. For programs that are not packet driver compatible see the README.TXT file. - To disconnect execute in the EXACT (reverse) order:
ipstub u (unloads ipstub, the packet driver "shim")
ppp u (disconnects the phone)
lsl u (cleans up)
