Dave's DIY Guide to PPP Oasis/NOS and Zetnet

OK: Here's Dave's DIY Guide to getting Oasis 1.35 and NOS to work with a PPP connection to Zetnet for those of you wanting mailshots or whatever:

If you want the NOSHELL.TTP STiK co-operative SL/IP version, please Click Here

1) Get hold of the OASIS135.TOS package. This can be obtained from 
   http://wuarchive.wustl.edu/systems/atari/ under something like
   "umich/network/oasis" - it's obvious once you're there.

2) Extract said file, and copy the folders to the root of drive c:

3) Rename the OASIS.135 folder to OASIS.133 (cockup by programmers)

4) Run the installation program.

5) Set it up to the best of your abilities. A few things to consider:
	- No Host name
	- Domain Name "zetnet.co.uk"
	- user name: your email address without the "@zetnet.co.uk"
	- file name: your username (truncated if necessary to fit the 
	  8+3 system used by TOS, eg dave.henderson = DAVE.HEN)
	- organisation: anything you like.
	- newsserver "znews.zetnet.co.uk"
	- DNS or nameserver (if it asks): [194.247.47.47]
	- Ignore all references to dial scripts (find resp etc. phone 
	  number, provider name etc..)


6) Get hold of NOS_POP3.TTP, again available at wustl address in same 
   place.

7) Delete c:\oasis\nos.ttp and copy and rename nos_pop3.ttp to 
   c:\oasis\nos.ttp

8) Delete the c:\oasis\startup.nos file and replace with the 
   one available here - amending as appropriate:

	- pop mailbox FILENAME : change FILENAME to the filename used 
	  earlier in oasis, eg: dave.hen
	- pop userdata USERNAME PASSWORD : USERNAME is your username 
	  as above - the password is the one aggreed with zetnet for 
	  login and AntMail.
	- if you have a 28.8K modem, a Falcon, TT or MegaSTE and are 
	  using Modem 2, change the BAUD RATE to 110.
	- Don't forget it's called STARTUP.NOS


9) Delete c:\oasis\dial.txt and replace with this one - amending as
   appropriate:
   	- Your Name
   	- Your Registration Code
   	- Your Account Number
   	- Your Password

10) Run Oasis, select "Internet", then select "Log-On" in oasis - after a few seconds
    you should connect and the NET> prompt should appear. Use "smtp kick" to send
    mail, "pop kick" to receive and "nntp kick" to send and receive news.


You should now have a fully operational Oasis/NOS setup with PPP access to
everything with the exception of the World Wide Web.

Best of luck,

David.
