   I downloaded DR-WebSpyder 2.1 and I'm really impressed with it so far.
Having the configuration menus being HTML rather than pull-down menus is
very intuitive, IMO.  It's very feature-laden and good on RAM, all things
considered.  I especially like the fact that it shows you the results of
the script as it executes, and if there's a connection error it brings up
a screen with the connection log and links to appropriate help files.

   The only problem I've had with WebSpyder is getting it to connect to a
UNIX shell account using its scripting.  The script executes flawlessly
(entering name and password, followed by "ppp" and "^M"), but once "ppp" 
is entered things go awry.  What appears to be happening is that both
sides appear to be waiting for the other to begin negotiating exactly how
they're going to communicate with PPP.

   Is there a way to force WebSpyder to start negotiating first?
