Follow these steps to build and install the new script:

  Make a backup copy of your existing PAD.INF file in your %SYSTEMROOT%subdirectory by copying it to a new filename.   Load the existing PAD.INF into Notepad and append the script below to the file and save it. Quit Notepad.   Start RAS, select the entry for your Compuserve X.25 provider in the Phonebook list.   Select the Edit button.   If you don’t see an X.25 button, choose the Advanced button, and then choose the X.25 button.   In the PAD Type field, select Compuserve.   Contact your system administrator if you don’t know the following information: In the X.121 Address field, enter the x.121 address of your RAS server.   Select the OK button. </li>  Select the Modem button. Choose the appropriate baud rate up to 9600 bps and select Enable Hardware Flow Control and Enable Modem Error Control. NOTE: Modem compression is not recommended unless software compression is not available, however, this script has not been tested with any kind of compression enabled. </li></ol>

10.Leave the “Enter Modem Commands Manually” check box clear and select OK and then choose OK again to return to the Remote Access program.

Remote Access is now ready to use this script and dial the server.
