InJoy has proven to run most stable in an OS/2 window, but on most systems
it shouldn't matter.
The possible problems you might encounter running InJoy in a full
screen are:
- com port behaves strangely and sends you wierd characters
after a while. This I have seen using the "SIO.SYS" driver.
- Autostarting and autostopping modules might not work.
However, most system don't seem to have a problem.
Remember, these are problems reported by only a few people
and it seems InJoy is running well on most systems even in
a full screen.
When InJoy comes up it may report that it "Could not open device", click
on OK to proceed with initialisation. InJoy tries to open com2 default
and if that port is not available on your system, then just specify
another com port for your default host!

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
When you have received you key code, and wish to enter it in InJoy,
you need to press:
SHIFT-F10 (enter this on the main screen of InJoy)
In this dialog you need to enter your name and your key code. Both name and
key code must entered with great care.
If you delete InJoy, you need to re-enter this information so keep it
at a secure location!
When you enter your name, it is very important that you enter it in the
exact same case as you gave when your key was to be generated.
The key is case sensitive as well, and must be entered in the same case
as when you received it.

InJoy will slit up the screen in 6 parts:
- The Terminal Mode
Window used for Terminal Mode and also showing
the received and sent bytes while dialing or
while running a connect script.
- Host listbox (and attached manipulation buttons)
Contains your hosts, grouped together with some
host manipulation buttons such as "Delete",
"New", "Change".
The "Dial" button also resides as part of this group!
- Output window
This window is used as a trace window.
It will show you messages from InJoy and also
trace lines, providing that trace is enabled.
- CPS and Bar chart line
This line will give you some info about your connection.
The line shows (from left to right):
* Characters sent on comm line since connect
* Characters received on comm line since connect
* CPS out
* CPS in
* Average CPS
* Max CPS
* CPS Bar
The last three numbers are calculated as the addition of
both transmitted and received characters.
Notice that these numbers are what is actually sent and
received on the line, so PPP encapsulation is included.
The checkbox entirely on the right of this line can be
used to turn this functionality on/off!
- Other buttons
Right below the host listbox you will find more
buttons for the purpose of hanging up, going into
miscellaneous options and finally for exiting InJoy.
- Status line (bottom line)
Shows some information about the current status of
InJoy.
This builds up to the following screen layout:

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
When you wish to set up an ISP (Internet Service Provider) also
known as a NAS (Network Access Server), you should choose to create
a new host.
InJoy always provides you with a "default" host which you cannot delete.
The default host is used by InJoy at startup, in order to have a
default set of parameters.
You should change the "default" host to make it match the default
settings that you would like to use at startup.
Most likely you would want to set up more hosts than just the "default"
host, and accordingly you have the possibility to create new hosts
by selecting the [New] button or pressing <Insert> within the host
listbox.
Notice: When entering the host setup screens, you will constantly see
small hints in the bottom of the screen. Read those hints
and use them as a guidance for your input.
The default host is also the container for the default
parameters used when you wish to a new host!
===============================================================================
H O S T S E T U P
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
When creating a new host, the first screen presented to you prompts
you for a hostname, your userid and your password.
