This is an example of my ip-up.bat, that is produced by LsPPP and
used to set various address, MTU etc. given by your ISP upon connection.
The Set command makes a variable constant.

set myip=62.31.220.159
set remip=0.0.0.0
set netmask=192.0.0.0
set peermru=1500
set dns1=193.38.113.3
set dns2=194.117.157.4

There might be a need to make changes to your autoexec.bat/config.sys files.

config.sys

device=C:\DOS\HIMEM.SYS

You can use this batch file to receive,
sort and send any queued mail.

@echo off
REM E-mail batch file to receive mail and sort it if exist.
REM Send mail if exist in [c:\dosinet\mail\smtp\] folder,

nm /receive

if exist c:\dosinet\mail\*.wrk
goto sort

if not exist c:\dosinet\mail\smtp\*.wrk
echo No email to send
goto end

nm /send
goto end

:end
