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:

  ;---------------------------------------------------
  [SITA GROUP NETWORK]

  COMMAND=...<cr>
  OK=<match>"SITA NETWORK:"

  COMMAND=[Place NUI number here]<cr>
