ABSTRACT:
LWP42D.EXE contains the 11/14/94 update for SLIP/PPP & Windows
Dialer. Provides a Windows "Dialer", an enhancement to the
SLIP/PPP support in LAN WorkPlace for DOS. The updated
SLIP/PPP driver provides concurrent connections with a LAN and
SLIP/PPP. Several new features are provided including the
ability to be used with Dialer or Dialup from LAN WorkPlace, or
with some 3rd party communication software.

ISSUE
Provides (Windows) "Dialer", an easy way to dial into SLIP/PPP
servers and run LAN WorkPlace or WinSock based networking
applications.
In addition, LWP42D should improve SLIP/PPP performance (higher
rates) through comm ports with 8250 and 16450 UARTs.
Dialer is a utility which establishes connections between a
workstation, and network dial-in services on TCP/IP networks.
Dialer opens connections by dialing in over telephone lines
using the workstation's modem. Once connected, you can use any
combination of LAN WorkPlace or WinSock based networking
applications to communicate over the network. You can also set
up Dialer to make connections automatically and to answer
incoming calls.

Installation Instructions:
ALL of the following steps are required.
1. Make a backup of your current SLIP_PPP.COM.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The files in LWP42D do not support Netware
Client £ip-tunnelling| or NFS Client access over SLIP/PPP.
Therefore, some users of DOS SLIP/PPP will not want to install
LWP42D.
2. Download and install LWP42T.EXE (Updated LAN WorkPlace for
DOS transport).
3. Download and install LWP42A.EXE (Updated LAN WorkPlace for
DOS Applications).
4. Download and install LWP42W.EXE (Updated Lan WorkPlace for
DOS Windows Applications).
5. Secure LSL.COM version 2.05 or later. The current version
of LSL.COM is in VLMUP1.EXE, which can be found in the NOVFILES
Forum.
6. Copy the following files to \NET\BIN:
SLIP_PPP.COM Serial ODI driver (SLIP & PPP frames)
SLPMON.EXE VxD for Serial ODI to Windows API
SLPAPI.DLL DLL interface for Modem access via ODI
DIALER.EXE Dialer Main Program
DIALER.HLP Dialer Help file
MDMAPI.DLL Modem API Linkage DLL
CONFIG.EXE Initial Configuration Program
CONFIG.HLP Initial Configuration Help file
7. Copy the following files to \NET\HSTACC:
CODES.DLR International Area Code database
AIOMDMS.MDC Modem Definition Script collection
NOTE: If the "PATH LWP_CFG" variable points to a different path
or series of paths, put these two files there instead.
8. The use of Dialer requires that Windows run in "386
Enhanced" mode.
9. Read DIALER.TXT for required instructions to configure
Dialer and make changes to your system files. An online
version of the Dialer manual is provided in LWP206.EXE.
9. Read the "Specifics" section below regarding the new
features and how to implement them.
10. From time to time, a new version of AIOMDMS.MDC, supporting
more modems, will be available in Library 9 of NOVLIB, as
NWCMOD.EXE.
Patch History:
LWP42D supersedes LWP203.
Specific Improvements:
SLIP_PPP.COM (R42-8, 941004)
----------------------------
A. Supports simultaneous LAN and SLIP/PPP connection.
B. An Auto-Reconnect process, so that if you use the keyword
DIAL to initially dial a number in NET.CFG, the following
occurs:
- DOS: the number in the DIAL option will be used to re-dial.
- Windows DIALER: the last dialed entry will be called.
C. DCD drop detection for EXCLUSIVE mode.
D. More robust IPCP option 1 & 3 support.
E. Re-enables LWP4.1 options: DIAL, LISTEN, and RECONN.
F. DIALUP.EXE support (DOS Version of Dialer).
G. Can be used with third party communication software.
SLPMON.EXE (R42-8a, 940920)
---------------------------
A new "AutoConnect=" option can be configured as
(enabled/disabled) in the "£SLPMON|" section in LWP.INI.
SLPAPI.DLL (R42-8, 940926)
--------------------------
A. More robust connection detection by SLPMON will check:
- SLIP_PPP's internal variables and verify a SLIP/PPP
connection.
- to see if Data Carrier Detect (DCD) is high, to verify a
connection.
B. TCP/IP MultiHome Support is provided to enhance the ability
of Dialer to operate independently with the loading sequence of
a MLID driver and SLIP_PPP.COM. C. Ability to Abort all opened
sockets when a dialogue box appears with a message "reconnect
confirmation" and the user clicks the "NO" button.
AIOMDMS.MDC
