I use injoy as my dialer (my ISP uses some Win95 authentication that
I couldn't get the IBM DOIP to handle.
With injoy, I am able to autostart programs when PPP is up. For the
default dialin (which injoy automatically runs when injoy is
launched), I have a .cmd file to run vsoup for mail and news, cd to
\yarn2 and run import, the vsoup to send mail and posts.
BTW, if I want to ftp a file, ncftp runs with a command line like this
(which I add into the .cmd):
ncftp -L -C ftp.matrox.com:/pub/mga/millennm/os2/1696_204.zip
Then, with setting the scheduler in the injoy settings notebook, I can
run injoy at night to do all of this.
