How do I configure Dialup Access to CompuServe Online Services
To allow for dialup connections to CompuServe Online Services two ad-
ditional encapsulation methods have been added to the biboPPPEncapsu-
lation variable:
x75_ppp
async PPP over X.75
x75btx_ppp
async PPP over X.75/T.70/BTX (T-Online)
These settings can be used to enable the V!CAS to dial into a Com-
puServe Network Node directly (x75_ppp) or to access CompuServe in-
directly through T-Online’s CompuServe Gateway (x75btx_ppp).

way using the “Async PPP over X.75/T.70/BTX” encapsu-
lation make sure to use the ISDN number 01910 to get local

Also, you may want to set ShortHold to 100 since the CIS
