I think tgat you are close. Use ZTerm, or even your Newt to see your ISPs signon dialog. Add a script to your Internet Setup -- something like
Pause 5
Send Username
Send ¶ [paragraph symbol]
Pause 1
Send Password
Send ¶
Done
Make sure you check display script activity and you might see where you are gettung stalled. Write me offlist if this isn;t clear enough. hth sue

:Hi Newts,

: I am going nuts trying to get my MP2k connected to the internet. My ISP support asked if "Newton" was a Windows program and then gave me the instructions for using dial up networking on windows so, as you might imagine, they are not very helpful. I bought this Newton off eBay a few weeks ago and it came with no system disks or manuals. I have been gathering up the software that I think I need by using the FAQs and a .PDF of the Manual. I just haven't managed a full internet connection and think I may be missing some software that just belongs there but I don't know I don't have it. I will attempt a detailed list of what appears in the Newt Extras tray and a description of my setup.

: Both Nethopper and SimpleMail will call up the connection slip and the modem dials and I hear the modems talk ("two chickens copulating") and then get quiet, followed by nothing. With Nethopper the connection slip stops at "engaging PPP driver" with SimpleMail the connection slip says "connecting to the internet" and stops. Both messages show for about two minutes before they just disappear.
:
: I found this web site: http://www.msu.edu/~deverman/newton/ppp.html and the slips he displays are slightly different from what shows up on my MP. I don't get to tell my MP to use a dynamic address but I do get to select "Server" under configuration, which, I think, is the same thing.
:
: Anyway, almost everything seems to work. I think the Newton would tell me if authentication failed or the password wasn't working.

:Thanks lots,
