Hi Bob,
Some things will never work on the unregistered or base registered
version, such as dial-on-demand and ip masquerading.  At the
intermediate level, these work fine.
Some people have mentioned the need to deal with resolv files in the
tcpip\etc directory.  The redial and multiple phone numbers of inJoy
worked for me the first time I tried them.  I registered at the
intermediate level, and use the dial-on-demand.  It works quite well.
If you want some of the features of inJoy, but that uses the same system
files as DOIP, check out iLink/2.  It gives you the multiple phone
number and redial capablilities, but doesn't have the DOD or IP
functions inJoy has.
TTYL,
Stephen

  Here's the script I use to keep injoy up.  basically it's a script which

it assumes that injoy isnt operating and "kills" the process and restarts
injoy.

Don, make sure you have 'redial at conn. loss' checked on the comm
page.  The biggest problem I have with this area is that once I get a
CONNECT (even if it's noisy like yours), InJoy doesn't cycle thru the
dialing list even if it doesn't get a PPP connection.  This prevents it
from stepping past a bad modem, bad line, or dead server connection.

works quite well, most of the time, the DOIP works ALL the time, and if I

Write your reply.

assistant: Excerpted from a message dated 01-22-98, David Calafrancesco to Don Guy:
Hi Don--
    If I remember correctly, an IBM announcement that appeared in a
recent issue of IBM's e-mail marketing newsletter "OS/2 Warp FM" stated
that the OS/2 version of JDK 1.1.4 includes IBM-added performance
improvements that require modification to the operating system.
Presumably, this modification is included in Warp 4, FixPak 5.  I guess
you are stuck unless you upgrade :-(.
    However, I wouldn't be in too much of a hurry.  In the most recent
issue of "OS/2 Warp FM" (dated 1-7-1998) IBM stated that it had received
the new Java 1.2 beta from Sun in mid-December, and is busily engaged in
porting that new version of the language to OS/2, including adding IBM's
own performance improvements.  If you want details on what is new about
Java 1.2, the newsletter referenced the following Web site:
       http://www.javasoft.com/features/1997/dec/jdk1.2beta2.html
    Please note that I haven't checked out this URL because I had
decided (shortly after JDK 1.1 came out) to stick with JDK 1.0.2 until
the rapid language development cycle slows down a little; by the time I
learned the new stuff, it would already be obsolete!

        --Murray
