InJoy is neither an extension to, nor a user interface for the PPP.EXE included in the OS/2 Internet Access Kit. Using IBM's code results in slower performance and a much higher hit on resource usage. Instead InJoy is a completely new dialer that uses the IBM TCP/IP stack for transport. This gives you the best possible performance with your existing Internet and TCP/IP LAN applications. For less cost than a router, InJoy puts your LAN on the Net using NAT. And, with automatic connections provided by Dial on Demand, InJoy is transparent to LAN users. The Firewall and Packet Filter plugins found at the Professional and SOHO level effectively turn InJoy into an extremely powerful and secure gateway product, capable of handling an almost infinite number of network users. Support of the IPSec technology provides comprehensive VPN security features and the highest level of standards-based data protection mechanisms. It provides reliable and interoperable data exchange, ensuring confidentiality, integrity and authenticity of transmitted information. Network Address Translation, Dial on Demand and Host Triggered Actions are available only in the registered "Extended Client", "SOHO Client" and "Professional Enterprise Server/Client" versions. Those functions are not available in the "Basic Client" version, whether registered or not. The "Extended Client" version will allow NAT for no more than four LAN workstations. ========================================================================== L E G A L I N F O =======================================Your Attention Please============== This software requires registration after a 30 day trial period. For registration refer to the included file: REGISTER.TXT. By installing and using this program you accept it as is and agree to the limits of liability and other provisions outlined in LICENSE.TXT. You should read that file before proceeding with installation or using the program. Copyrights and trademarks remain the property of their owners. ========================================================================== H A R D & S O F T W A R E R E Q U I R E M E N T S ==========================================================The Minimums==== o IBM OS/2 2.1 or OS/2 for Windows 1.0 o 386SX o 8 MB total memory o Up to 10 MB free disk space o TCP/IP base kit or OS/2 Internet Access Kit ========================================================================== R A P I D S T A R T I N S T A L L ==============================================For Those In A Hurry======== o Unzip the archive into a directory of your choice. - When updating to a new version, it is a good idea to backup first, and check host configuration after the new install. - Use unzip (or pkunzip with the -d option), assuring that directories are created as needed. - Unzipping over the old version allows continued use of existing data files and configuration. o Launch install.cmd to create an InJoy folder on your desktop. o Launch InJoy and configure (NOTE: This is a VERY short tutorial. Many find that it works for them, first time. More detailed information can be found in the file USERGUID.TXT.) - Start the configuration process by clicking on [New] under [Host] - As a guide, use the "hint" (appearing at the bottom of the screen) for each user configurable option. - Type "Test" in the Configuration name block and, when you have filled in your "Test" Host, DO NOT press 'Save as Default' until you have a proven configuration. - Fill in your user ID and password in the appropriate blocks. - Continue until all blocks specific to your needs are configured. Like nameserver, phone number, modem init strings, COM port selection....those kinds of "must have" blocks. - NOTE: If your ISP offers automatic negotiation through PAP or CHAP you will probably NOT need a log on script. Therefore do NOT setup InJoy for automatic script learning unless you are certain that a script is required. Many find a script unnecessary. o Try a hookup by clicking on [Dial]. ========================================================================== K I L L J O Y =======================================Just In Case======================= KILLJOY.EXE is a small utility program that will kill InJoy from the command line and still allow the connection log to update correctly. o Open an OS/2 command window o Change to InJoy's directory o Type "killjoy" (without the quotes) and press enter. InJoy will die instantly, and drop any modem connections. o Or, type "killjoy -" (again, without the quotes) and press enter. InJoy will die as soon as the modem connection is dropped InJoy's implementation of user configurable disconnect actions makes the Killjoy program obsolete. However, it is retained in the distribution archive for backward compatibility and for those whose existing script routines require it. ========================================================================== F E A T U R E L I S T =======================================They Made InJoy Famous============= o TCP/IP version 4.1 ready o Support of IPSec, the predominant VPN standard. o Filter plugin to selectively discard packets. o Extensive Dialer API o Firewall plugin. o Full 32 bit PPP or compressed SLIP connections (compliant with the latest RFC's) o Full terminal mode capability o Dial on Demand o NAT (share PPP connection simultaneously with work stations on your LAN, including Mac's, Win95, 3.1 and all other TCP/IP clients) o Intelligent modem sharing. If the modem is busy (e.g. in use by a fax or other comm program), InJoy will attempt to dial every five seconds until the port is free, at which time it will complete the the dial. o Host Triggered Actions o Port speeds configurable to 345,600 (hardware and driver permitting) o Disconnect actions allowing program exit on any of these events: - Any disconnect - Any unprovoked disconnect - Idle TIMEOUT - TIMER expire - Dialing failure o CHAP and PAP authentication fully supported (including MS-CHAP for NT server support) o Included SetJoy utility changes Idle Timeout and Timer while connected o Low CPU resource usage o Easy configuration o Connection info stored in CONNECT.TXT, and viewable while connected o Easy auto learning of log on scripts o Automatic IP address grabbing under SLIP. (No need for REXX!) o Script pausing to allow changing password insertion. Perfect for setup's with constantly changing passwords (such as SecureID). o Auto Internet connect at program start o Auto line drop if modem negotiates a connection at a speed lower than the user configurable limit o Auto re-connect if carrier drops unintentionally o Auto start/stop user-specified programs on connect/disconnect and almost ANY event. This is terrific for mail, news and FTP clients. o Auto re-dial on connection failure. o Phone number list with up to 10 phone numbers, with user-selectable dialing sequence. o Backup as well as primary name server (DNS) o Adjustable program priority o PPP options allowing connection fine tuning o Online time monitoring (since last reset) o Tracing capabilities (including line monitoring) o Monitor character per second (CPS) rates in real time (both graphic and numeric) o Auto connection logging (date, start, stop, duration and CPS stats) o Monitor connection speed and duration o Shared modem within your IBM PEER workgroup o Timeout function (drop line after x seconds of line inactivity) o Timer function (drop line after y seconds even if line is active) o Timeout warnings (prior to line drop) o User configurable performance tuning o Graceful logoff (if host does not allow carrier drop) o Possible to copy and share your host's definitions o Optional sounds at connect/disconnect/timer warning/timeout warning o NULL modem support o Allows parity changing within scripts (great for CompuServe) o PM Patrol (tm) aware o Hiding password and user ID from scripts using the [$PASSWORD] and [$USERID] metavariables o Configurable user confirmations o Stable connections, even on RAM starved machines o Releases COM port when not in use o Hostid support o Dynamic DNS support ========================================================================== A C K N O W L E D G E M E N T S ==============================================Giving Credit Where Due===== F/X would like to thank all the people who helped during the development phase and a special thanks to The WordSmith (WordSmith@IBM.Net) for his help with the docs. ========================================================================== C O N T A C T S =======================================Additional Help Is Available======= The below resources are pointers to where you might find more help in using InJoy.
