Brett,
If I remember correctly, the old NET2-FAQ, and the new HOWTO for NET2 give a DIP
script somewhere near the end of the document. Some modems have trouble with the
'reset' command. What I did to make the script reliably wake up my modem is added
a couple of lines right after the 'reset' command:
ATZ0\r\n
wait OK 3
Also note the old method of setting the remote and local IP addresses is changed in
the newer flavors of DIP. You now have to use 'get $remote x.x.x.x' and
'get local x.x.x.x' where 'x' is the appropriate IP address. Other than that, the
script in the document seems to work for me.
Good Luck.
