This is a rewrite of STiK, incorporating many of those fancy ideas that
have been developed within the STiK developers group in the last year.
Along with some others, I figured a complete rewrite is the only way to
get rid of some major restrictions of the old design. This is why this
project has been started. The approach is modular, which enables us to
spread work on STinG amongst several people. If you want to join, just
let me know. To gain a first impression, use ST-Guide (can be found on
my web page) to display STING.HYP, which forms some sort of preliminary
documentation. Note that not much of the docs is finished yet, so for
instance if you prefer to have the docs in a different format, note that
I intent to have several formats in the final distribution (HTML being
one of them).
Note the new name : The package is called STinG now, for `ST Internet
Next Generation'. Thus we're independent from STiK now. At the same time
some stupid naming conventions have been changed, for instance the file
that contains the path to the STinG directory is called STING.INF now.
Read the `Dialing Modem Connections' chapter in STING.HYP. It describes
in great detail how to set up and get a connection to your ISP. If you
have problems using PPP to connect to your ISP, let me know. If your
ISP told you to use CSLIP, this is a combination of SLIP and Van Jacob-
son Header Compression. Correspondingly you must activate both to get
CSLIP.
If you have any problems getting STinG to work, please go through the
following steps before contacting me :
- First grab the latest archives from my homepage. This way you make
sure your problems aren't due to some bug that's been fixed mean-
while. Read the text on the web page, it's there for a purpose !
- Go through all the frequently asked questions in the likewise named
chapter of STING.HYP. At least 80 % of all problems are in fact one
of the 21 described in that chapter, you'll find the solution there !
The latest DOCS.LZH also contains the latest FAQ in the STING.HYP. The
following URL is where to go : http://www.stud.uni-hannover.de/~perot
- Now if the problem prevails, go to the Usenet news groups, post your
problem, and wait a week for responses. Many helpful people are out
there, including me. Try comp.sys.atari.st for asking people all
over the world, or the german maus.sys.atari.software.
- In case those people couldn't help you either, you may e-mail me at
perot@pallas.amp.uni-hannover.de. I'll help then to get your problem
fixed. Please include all information that even remotely seems rele-
vant. The FAQ will give you an idea what information I'm talking
about.
Happy STinGing ! ;-)
Cheers, Peter Rottengatter
