user: You are replying to All about "Injoy dialer".

Write your reply.

assistant: Hello!
        I have suggested way to allow the use of Injoy to sit idle on the
desktop and wait for a semphore file to activate the Injoy Dialer to the
auther of Injoy, Bjarne Jensen. This feature could mean many great things for
those that use the Injoy Dialer.Many of which would be to allow your users to
access the Internet THROUGH your dialup SLIPP/PPP account using one of the
many doors that are out there.
        Here is how it would basically work. Injoy would be setup on the
desktop and sit there checking every so often for this file. Once it is
created, by means of a *.BAT or *.CMD file, Injoy would then start dialing to
your Internet provider. Using the DOORs that are out there and simple *.BAT
or *.CMD files, these DOORS would allow the user to do IRC, FPT and Telnet.
Once the users was done and there was no one else using connection, the Injoy
Dialer would then disconect and sit idle once again for another user. I have
used this method but in a more complex way to allow the users of my BBS to do
this very thing for the past year. However, using Injoy would make it a lot
easier.
        If you are interest in something of this nature please send E-Mail to
Bjarne Jensen to bj@belle.dk and request that you would like to see Injoy
with the ability to use Semaphore files to activate automatic dialing and
disconnection. Also mention that you heard it from me.
        If you have not hear of the Injoy Dialer then please go to
www.belle.dk/~bj/dialer.html and take a look at this incredable IBM PPP
Dialer replacement.
        If you need further information on this idea, please E-Mail me at
gremlin@gq.uniserve.com or Net mail at 1:153/9117.
Later,

user: You are replying to All about "In-Joy and Vmodem".

Write your reply.

assistant: has anyone had any problems with the new In-Joy (v1.00 non regged), and using
vmodem to connect thier bbs mailers?   I am using Intermail 2.50gamma and
vmodem 1.60 (I guess)..
anyways, it seems that In-Joy has all this advertisment stuff that keeps
coming on its screen, and I think it might be interfering  with the vmodem
thing.. When I was still using using In-Joy, sometimes I would get lucky, and
the commercials would not show up (I guess thier server was down), and vmodem
would work half way decent, but STILL error prone...
Oh well, I switched to ILink/2, and no problems at all!
Is there anyway to disable to advertisment thingy in In-Joy?  I turned off
the external commercial thing, its the advertisments that appear in the MAIN
in-joy window..
oh well, I guess ILink/2 will work.. If I could figure out a way to change
the modem init strings that is... :)
btw- did I mention I was an idiot?  :)

You are welcome.
I found out the ISPNAME parameter is case sensitive after I sent you that
particular message.  Worldnet is interpeted by slippm differently than
worldnet as would WorldNet.  I found this a little strange since the program
will not let you create those three different entries for dialing, as the
create entries process states that the entry already exists.
Another problem for the people at IBM to fix.

Write your reply.

assistant: I reg'd Injoy for the sole purpose of using IP_masq as well.
Setting up the TCP support for the other machines is fairly easy, I've been
running local web servers, mud, and chat programs that way for over a year.
Injoy's IP_masq support takes some additional configuration that Bjarne has
no desire, or clue how, to document. If you guys want me to post some of my
config info, let me know and I'll do it when I get home (currently out of
town). I have a Warp 3 connect machine that I'm using as a server running
Injoy .99, a Warp 4 workstation, and a Win95/Warp3 laptop all using the same
internet connection.
      Oh, before I forget, you have to be using the extended version
of Injoy for the masquerading to work.
