  • This option enables you to automate the connection with your ISP by keeping the login instructions in a ".scp" file.
  • Windows 95 and Windows 98 handle scripting differently.
  • (If you have used the manual dial-up don’t forget to delete the "Bring up terminal window after dialing" from the dial-up profile.)

Windows 95

  • The dial-up scripting tool is a separate program
    (I have included a zip file version in the folder v2com_sw/win95sw/scripter.
  • Once installed it is accessible by;
    Start | Programs | Accessories | Dial-up Scripting Tool
  • Sample scripts are given at the end of this page.

Windows 98

  • It appears that a script file is not necessary. If a userid and password is ented into the "Connect to" dialog box these values are automatically passed to the server. (let me know if this is not the case!)
