In order to support all possible and impossible conditions
of dial-up connections to the internet, Arachne comes with
two different external dialers (lsppp and miniterm).
Lsppp.exe is a dialer/packet driver all-in-one.
Miniterm is a dialer only, and then requires a packet driver.
The packet driver Epppd.exe is included to then be used after
miniterm.exe has dialed.
They are commonly configured with the help of Arachne's
setup-wizards or the option pages. For experienced users who
like to edit the Arachne configuration file arachne.cfg
manually, it might be useful to document which keyword in
arachne.cfg is used by which dial program.
Here is an example:
| keyword | used by
| Port 1
| miniterm, epppd and lsppp
| Irq 4
| miniterm, epppd and lsppp
| Base 0x3e8
| miniterm, epppd and lsppp
| Mode 8N1
| miniterm only
| Speed 115200
| miniterm, epppd and lsppp
| InitString AT&fs7=90s11=50
| miniterm and lsppp
| DialString ATDT
| miniterm only
| PhoneNumber 330-984-4005
| miniterm and lsppp
| Autologin Yes | WaitFor1 ogin Response1 /U WaitFor2 sword Response2 /P WaitFor3 Response3 core.exe to run the script
in these waitfor/response lines
when using miniterm to dial/login
| (each of the waitfor/response lines are therefore used by miniterm only) PPPusername glennmcc
| miniterm, epppd and lsppp
| PPPpassword *****
| miniterm, epppd and lsppp
