 (using PAP and simulated bootp)

Setup.

1.  Read the documentation in the DOCS directory.
2.  Edit pppd.cfg to suit your system.

[If you are not using the NCF as your ISP, edit the "domainslist="
 and "domain_list=" lines in wattcp\wattcp.cfg and the "domain="
 line in ncsa\config.tel. ]

Method 1. Using a terminal program as a dialer.

4.  Use your terminal program to dial NCF. (Do not use a script)
5   When you get CONNECT, exit your terminal program without hanging up.

7.  If you get "Connection failed.", go back to step 1.
