Using a PPP connect script

    If you regularly connect to a PPP server that requires you to use a terminal window to log in, you can create a connect script to avoid typing login commands and user information.

    To create a connect script:
    1 Connect to the server.
    2 When the PPP Terminal window appears, type the required commands and user information.
    3 Before completing your login, click Settings at the bottom of the terminal window.
    4 In the PPP Terminal Settings dialog box, select "Prompt to save Connect Script on close."
    5 If you want the terminal window to close when you finish logging in, select "Close Terminal when PPP is started."
    6 Click OK. (If you chose not to close the terminal window, click the Continue button at the bottom of the terminal window to close it.)
    7 Save the script.

Importing a script

    Your network administrator or Internet service provider may provide a connect script for you to use.

    To import a connect script:
    1 Open the Remote Access control panel.
    2 Click Options at the bottom of the dialog box.
    3 Click the Protocol tab.
    4 Choose PPP from the protocol pop-up menu.
    5 Select "Connect to a command-line host," then "Use connect script."
    6 Click "Import Script."
