Mosaic via. SLIP
Mosaic will run over a SLIP or PPP connection. The most difficult
aspect is establishing the SLIP/PPP connection. Below is a brief description
for establishing a SLIP connection using a Shareware product called
Trumpet Software International Winsock version 1.0. This particular product
has an internal SLIP driver and an internal modem dialer. If you would
like to obtain a copy of this product you can find it at the anonymous
ftp site ftp.utas.edu.au. The file, twsk10a.zip, is located in the
/pc/trumpet/winsock directory. For the convenience of our users we
also keep a copy of this Shareware product on our anonymous ftp server,
ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu. The file, winsock.zip, is in the /PC/Mosaic/sockets
directory.
After you have installed the Trumpet Winsock according to it's
instructions, envoke tcpman.exe and select "Setup". Trumpet will
need the following information about the SLIP server you are connecting to.
Get this information from the company that is providing the SLIP service.
IP address 0.0.0.0
Name server 0.0.0.0
Time sever 0.0.0.0
Domain Suffix the.name.of.your.domain
ie. "ncsa.uiuc.edu" is our domain.
Check "Internal SLIP" and enter in the port number and baud rate of your
modem. Save the information, click OK, and exit the program. Now, your
system should be configured properly. Next, envoke Trumpet again and use
the internal dialer option to place the call. Select the "Dialler" pull
down menu. You will probably take notice there a few options available,
however I will only discuss "Manual login" command. If you are interested
in creating a script then please refer to the Trumpet documentation. Once
you have selected Manual login you will need to enter the following command
in the Trumpet window.
atdt xxx-xxxx (where the x's represent the phone number).
NOTE: There are two ways to gain access to the Internet via SLIP:
1) If you have a static slip account, that is, you were assigned an IP number
that doesn't change.
- login to the server.
- Enter the command "slip".
- Hit the escape key.
- Double click on the Mosaic icon.
2) If you log into a server that assigns you a random IP number.
- login to the server.
- Enter the command "slip".
- Select the "Setup" pull down menu.
- Enter this IP in the appropriate field.
Note: After you enter the new IP number you will get a message that
states you will have to close the application in order for this number
to take affect.
- Hit the escape key.
- Close Trumpet.
Note: This action will not cause you to loose your connection.
- Double click on the Mosaic icon.
