Addresses and Logins

Some of the common addresses that AAPT customers need are:

Username: Your username forms the first part of your email address and User ID and part of your Web home page address.

email address: username@yourdomain.com.au

User ID: username@yourmailserver.com.au

Web home page (where applicable): http://people.yourmailserver.com.au/~username/

When making a connection to your account always type your full User ID, username@yourdomain.com.au, when asked to provide your username, login name or User ID. You will not be able to connect if you type your username alone.

The terminology used here may differ from the terminology used by your software.

Connecting

Standard connection is by Point to Point Protocol (PPP). The server allocates Internet Protocol (IP) addresses to clients dynamically.

Connect Script

The preferred connection method is using PAP which does not require a script, but you can still use a script to connect if you wish. Following are sample login scripts:

Trumpet Winsock

wait: name:
send: [username@yourmailserver.com.au]
wait: word:
send: [password]

Windows 95/98, Windows NT and Shiva Script

proc main

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

waitfor "word:"
transmit $PASSWORD

transmit "^M"
waitfor "~"

endproc
