Automating Your Remote Access/PPP Connection with RadixNet (OPTIONAL)
----------------------------------------------------------------------

1) After successfully logging into RadixNet manually, you can automate 
   the process by setting up a script in Open Transport/PPP.

2) To record a script, you need to connect to RadixNet in the usual
   manner(manually), and then wait for the terminal window to appear 
   displaying our Annex menu.

3) At the PPP terminal window, click on "Settings" toward the bottom and 
   make sure that "Close Terminal when PPP is started" and "Prompt to
   save Connect Script on close" are both selected. Click on "OK".

4) This should put you back at the terminal window, go ahead and login
   manually. When finished, a dialog box should appear that will let 
   you name and save the script you have just created.

5) Name the script, choose a destination for it, and click on "Save" 
   to save the script.

6) Go back to the Control Panels and open the PPP control panel. Click
   on "Disconnect".

7) Next, click on "Options" at the bottom of the control panel. Under
   "Protocol", select "Use connect script". Click on "Import Script".

8) Select the script you want to import; then click "Open" (or double
   click the name of the script).

9) Click "OK" in the "Protocol Options" dialog box, exit out of the PPP
   Control panel to make sure the changes have been saved.

10) Test the connection script by going back into the PPP control panel 
    and clicking on "Connect". 

11) You can also configure PPP to connect automatically so that 
    Open Transport/PPP automatically attempts a connection whenever you
    launch a TCP/IP application such as Netscape Navigator or Fetch.

    a) To activate this feature, click on "Options" in the PPP control 
       panel and select the "Connection" tab. 

    b) Click on "Connect automatically when starting TCP/IP applications"
       checkbox, to put an X in it.

    c) Click "OK", and then close and save the configuration.

    d) The next time you're ready to login, try clicking on the TCP/IP
       application first to test this feature.

12) To disconnect from the Internet, choose "Control Panels" from the 
    Apple Menu and open the PPP control panel and click the "Disconnect"
    button (regardless of whether you choose to do step 11 or not).
