WFW 3.11 RAS: X.25 Script for Sita Group Network Services

ID: Q120014

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows for Workgroups version 3.11

SUMMARY

This article provides information on how to allow Remote Access Service (RAS) client that ships with Windows for Workgroups version 3.11 to automatically connect to a Microsoft Windows NT version 3.1 RAS server (equipped with an Eicon card) over the Sita Group Network X.25 service. Sita Group Network is also known as Scitor, Inc.

Due to a problem in Windows for Workgroups version 3.11 with executing PAD.INF scripts, the following post-connect script file has been developed. It needs to be pasted into the SWITCH.INF file that is in the system subdirectory of your Windows directory. NOTE: The script below may also work with Windows NT and Windows NT Advanced Server version 3.1, however, there is a PAD.INF script available for RAS on those platforms. For information, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

Q120015 Windows NT RAS: X.25 Script for Sita Group Network Services

MORE INFORMATION

In the script below (starting with ";-------") the following items that appear in the script


   [Place X.121 address here]
   [Place NUI number here]
   [Place Password here]

need be replaced entirely including the square brackets by the X.121 address of the server, the users Network User Interface (NUI) number which usually has the format "NUI xxxxxxxx" (where the xxxxxxxx needs to be replaced with the eight-digit NUI number and the password).

Edit and paste the following lines into your SWITCH.INF (not PAD.INF) file:
