For those of you have tried, without success, to setup an Invention Factory Internet connection in Procomm Plus for Windows Version 3.0 (Procomm3), here is a foolpoof step-by-step procedure that will get you up and running. 1. The first thing that you need to do is to modify the SUPERTCP.INI file that Procomm3 placed in your Windows directory. Using the ascii text editor of your choice, add the following two lines at the end of the [PPP1] section of SUPERTCP.INI. Case is important, so type them exactly as shown: ProtCompr=1 AddrCntlCompr=1 2. Startup Procomm. 3. Select - Setup/Internet/Internet Connection - from the Procomm3 Task Bar. 4. Select - Add New Connection. 5. Click - Discard Previous Settings.... & then Click - Next. 6. Click - Modem Over a Telephone Line & then Click - Next. 7.

Enter - The Invention Factory - in the Service Provider Box. 11. In the access number boxes, enter the area code and telephone number that you normally use to dial the Invention Factory. Viz. - 212-274-8932 for a 28.8K connection. 12. If no area code is required, select "Local", if an area code is required, select "Long Distance". When you're done with this screen, Click - Next. 13.

Enter your Invention Factory First and Last Names in the User ID Box, then enter your Invention Factory Password in the Password Box, then Click Next to leave this screen. 15. Click - PPP or SLIP & then Click - Next. PPP is the preferred protocol, because it is the fastest and most robust. 16.

When you are connected, enter "n" at the "do you want graphics" prompt, then enter your first and last names at the "First Name" prompt, then enter your Invention Factory password at the "Password" prompt, press "Enter" at the Scan Message base prompt. As soon as you see the next Invention Factory prompt, Click - OK in the Procomm Aspect box, and your Invention Factory connection will terminate. 22. Leave 0.0.0.0 in the Enter IP Address box and Click - OK. 23. If all goes well, you will receive a message that Procomm has successfully created a Internet Connection Logon Script. If you don't receive that message, your best bet is to repeat this entire procedure, so take your time and do it right the first time thru. 24. Click - Finish - on the next screen 25. The next screen will come up showing the information that you typed in for the Invention Factory Internet Connection. Click - OK, then exit Procomm at the main screen. 26.

Startup Procomm3 and select Setup/Internet/Internet Connection from the top task bar. Check the name in the Logon Script box. If it isn't "theinven", click the arrow at the right end of the box, and select "theinven" from the listed scripts. Then Click - OK. 28. YOU'RE FINALLY DONE. 29. To Browse the Web, select Window/Connect to Internet from the Procomm3 upper task bar. Procomm3 will then use the script that you just created to connect you to the Invention Factory in PPP or SLIP mode, depending on your selection in Step 15. As soon as the script is done, Click - Mode/Web Browser - and browse away.
