From what I understand, Warp 4 has (generates) a resolv2 file but Warp 3 doesn't.....hopefully someone will be able state definitely if this is actually the case or not. :-) --- Sqed/32 1.14/r15155 * Origin: T-Shirts 'N Genes BBS - (250) 748-3408 v32b v42b XA CM (1:340/204) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 273 OS/2 INTERNET Ref: F1500002 Date: 01/02/98 From: BRAD CROCKETT Time: 09:06pm \/To: LAWRENCE LUCIER (Read 2 times) Subj: DOIP <-> In-Joy Lawrence Lucier wrote in a message to KENNETH ABRAMS: LL> Was talking to a OS/2 buddy of mine about this and he seemed to LL> remember that Warp 3 didn't have the resolv2 file while Warp 4 LL> did.........can anyone confirm this?

With In-Joy you can log on to a PPP using interactive mode entering your USERID and PASSWORD manually. This is necessary for my work account since I don't know my password at the beginning of the dial-up session. I have to look at a company provided "James Bond Type" credit card sized password generator that changes my password every minute. I have to type in the password that is appearing in the window at the EXACT TIME OF MY LOGIN. Well, you ask for one thing. There are many more. However I too have been satisfied with the provided DOIP except for this one area. LS> The same holds true for comm.sys and vcom.sys (I have LS> not noticed any difference in my 30 day evaluation of LS> sio) SIO can lock a port, Comm.Sys can not. This is a virtual requirement while running BBS software (OS/2 or DOS) that calls DOS BBS Doors. Other than that, the Comm.Sys isn't bad. I've been running Warp since version 2.0 first came out (had it before the retailers). SIO has always been better for me. Even now. LS> So I await some users who can convince me to change If you can't tell the difference in what you do, you don't need either one. But... you have to be pretty knowledgeable to make that determination some times. Many users don't know the tipe of problems that SIO would solve when they see them.

You are supposed to get a lot of "trash" after initiating a PPP session. What you do next is very important. If you're using WinNT and the WinNT dialer you have to hit the DONE button. If you're using Win95 I'm not sure. If you're using OS/2 you shouldn't have to do anything but wait. What dialer and what operating system are you using? -Frank (fsexton@ibm.net - http://www.concentric.net/~fsexton) --- Blue Wave/OS2 v2.30 * Origin: Wildcard BBS,Thornton,CO HST/V34+ +1-303-252-0491 (1:104/725) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 273 OS/2 INTERNET Ref: F1500006 Date: 01/04/98 From: CHARLES BOWMAN Time: 01:20pm \/To: LESLIE SATENSTEIN (Read 2 times) Subj: DOIP <-> In-Joy Leslie Satenstein wrote in a message to Charles Bowman: LS> Can someone tell me what injoy can do that DIOP cannot?

As with most add-ons they are just things to make life a little easier. The biggest advantage (but not the only feature) is the ease it allows you to automate dialup functions. Yes, DOIP can do it too but if you aren't big into writing or modifying REXX scripts things like In-Joy and iLink/2 are a blessing. LS> So I await some users who can convince me to change As with most everything else, the choice is left up to you. I like it, I use it but I'm certainly not concerned about what you use on your computer. cbowman@sinfo.net --- * Origin: Techshop's Southern Most Point - Panama (1:3651/9.10) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 273 OS/2 INTERNET Ref: F1500007 Date: 01/04/98 From: STEPHEN HAFFLY Time: 01:43pm \/To: LESLIE SATENSTEIN (Read 2 times) Subj: DOIP <-> In-Joy On (02 Jan 98) Leslie Satenstein wrote to Charles Bowman...

The same holds true for comm.sys and vcom.sys (I have LS> not LS> noticed any difference in my 30 day evaluation of sio) LS> So I await some users who can convince me to change I don't know if what I will say will convince you to change, but there are a few things that InJoy can do that DOIP flat out can't. One of these is Dial On Demand. That means that I can run something like the RC5 or DES encryption challenges, and as they finish with the set of blocks, automatically dial up the Internet, exchange finished blocks for new ones, and then proceed on, all without manual intervention from me. By the same token, I can just start up Post Road Mailer or Netscape, and when the program sends out the connect request, it will dial automatically. This can also be used over a network from what the documentation says. This means that one modem could be shared by a network. Another is IP masquerading. This goes along with Dial On Demand to enable sharing InJoy with a LAN. Someone who has a LAN will have to tell you how well this works. Other nice features are automatic redial as well as the ability to have multiple phone numbers if an ISP is so set up. Some of these features are not availble at the basic registration level (Dial on Demand, for instance), but at the intermediate level. For the best information, you should download the program and read the documentation. It will explain the capabilities far better than I can.
