Here's what you need to do:

1. Create the OMNIport login script-file.
2. Disable the pop-up terminal window before/after dial-up.
3. Install the Dial-Up Scripting Tool.
4. Attach the login-script to your OMNIport connection.
5. Connect to OMNIport.

Create the OMNIport login script-file.

Using the notepad editor and the native Windows cut & paste features, create the following file and save to:
"c:\Program Files\Accessories\Omniport.scp"
(or download and save-as Omniport.scp).

proc main
  transmit "^M"

  waitfor "Session"
  transmit "^M"
  transmit "^M"

  waitfor "ogin:"
  transmit $USERID
  transmit "^M"

  waitfor "assword:"
  transmit $PASSWORD
  transmit "^M"
endproc

Disable the pop-up terminal window before/after dial-up.

• Enter the "Dial-Up Networking" folder.
• Select "Omniport" with the right mouse button.
• Select "Properties".
• Select "Configure".
• Select the "Options" tab.
• De-select both options (i.e. remove the check from the box):
  "Bring up terminal before dialing" and "Bring up terminal after dialing".
• Select "OK" to exit "Properties".
• Select "OK" to exit "Omniport".

Install the Dial-Up Scripting Tool.

• Select the "Start" button on the task bar.
• Slide to "Programs".
• Slide to "Accessories".

If you see the selection "Dial-Up Scripting Tool", then proceed to the next step (next paragraph) . If not, don't worry. Many Windows installations assume you used built-in start-up scripts for other internet services. Thus, the Dial-Up Scripting Tool did not get installed on your system.

The following will install the Dial-Up Scripting Tool:

• Insert your Windows-95 CDROM into your CDROM drive.
• Select the "Start" button on the task bar.
• Slide to "Settings".
• Slide to and select "Control Panel".
• Select the "Add/Remove Programs" icon.
• Select the "Windows Setup" tab.
• Select the "Have Disk" button.
• Highlight your Win95 source disk, select "Browse".
• Select the file "\admin\apptools\dscript\rnaplus.inf".
• Select "OK".

Attach the login-script to your OMNIport connection.

• Select the "Start" button on the task bar.
• Slide to "Programs".
• Slide to "Accessories".
• Select "Dial-Up Scripting Tool".
• Select "Omniport".
• Select "Browse".
• Select the file "Omniport.scp" ( created earlier).
• Select "Open".
• Select the "Start terminal screen minimized" box. (To login "quietly")
• Select "Apply".
• Select "Close".

Connect to OMNIport.

Double-click on "Omniport" in the "Dial-Up Networking" folder, or enter your browser. When the "Connecting to Omniport" screen appears, enter your user-name and password. Your modem should dial OMNIport and connect you to the Internet.

The next time you double-click on "Omniport" or start your browser, you will not need to re-enter your user-name.
