Loading the Drivers

Unlike Merit's etherppp (ppp.zip), the Klos driver has several
pieces. You must load these in the proper order to get the driver
running. You can create a batch file to simplify matter. My match
file looks like this:

dial.bat:

lsl
ppp
pppmenu
pppwat
ipstub

Only the lsl, ppp, and ipstub programs actually remain in memory.
The pppmenu program is used to monitor your connection and the
pppwat program edits your wattcp.cfg file for you to put the proper
ip# in the my_ip line. All of these files including kali.exe and
wattcp.cfg should reside in the same directory.

If you run the batch file above, lsl will load, ppp will load
(after a brief pause), and the pppmenu will run. What you do in
pppmenu depends on how you setup net.cfg. If you set net.cfg to
autodial, you can just select the Status Displays. You will see a
screen with a bunch of silly numbers that mean nothing to most of
us. The important thing to watch is the LCP State and IPCP State
displays. These will say "Initial" when you first see them. They
should eventually say "?????" when your connection
completes properly. At this time you can exit pppmenu and the
pppwat program will run quicky as it edits wattcp.cfg and then the
IPSTUB program will load.
