You most certainly can use CIS to connect to the internet via PPP because I am
doing it now! If you GO UNIX (I think) there is a Linux section where the
recipe for connecting via a chat script is given. I plugged this into the kppp
dialer and it fired-up first time.
The chat script is:
ABORT 'NO '
ABORT 'BUSY'
ABORT 'ERROR'
'' AT OK-AT-OK ATZ OK-AT-OK ATS11=55W2DT08-5661-2000 CONNECT '\r' : CIS : \
100277.537/GO:PPPCONNECT : password PPP '\p\p'
(The last line is split; obviously change the phone number, userid and
password)
AFAIK, M$ systems come with a CIS script, I cannot remember the details but I
created a Dial-Up networking object, entered phone numbers, userid and stuff
and it just worked.
