To Install SIO, unzip or place the distribution files into a directory
that is NOT named SIO and type INSTALL, followed by return.
I now have a basic web server at www.gwinn.com for SIO registration
and registered user updates.
An SIO user sent me a very nice icon for VMODEM, but I forgot his name
so I cannot give him proper credit now. Anyhow, the icon is now
included in the distribution zip.
This release of SIO (V1.55) also contains corrections, additions and
tweaking to the basic code. See HISTORY.TXT in the distribution zip
for details.
The SIO support BBS is available via Internet using VMODEM or Telnet.
The Internet address is vmbbs.gwinn.com. Note that you will NOT
normally be able to download using most telnet clients. However,
using VMODEM and your favorite terminal program, you can download
using telnet connections.
Many users have reported problems when using the USR Sportsters. One
user reported that the problems when away when he installed the latest
firmware upgrade from USR. He also noted that one default setting was
changed and may be a clue. The default of &S1 was changed to &S0.
A waning to those attempting to avoid registration by manually
modifying (or using programs) SIO to act registered. The SIO programs
contain tamper detection and this release has additional tamper
detection. If tampering is detected, no warnings or outward
indications are given, SIO simply fails to do a lot of things it
should do, which in turn causes problems is some areas, and not in
others. In other words, the tampering may seem successful, but
probably is not. I am now receiving problem reports that are
obviously (to me) caused by tampering with the program files. So, if
you really have to be cute by attempt to avoid registering, try an
unaltered SIO before sending me problem reports.
