Minimium Requirements
=====================

Window 95 or Windows NT 4.0
A Modem Connection To The Internet
SLIP/PPP (This Is The Internet Connection Software That Comes With Window 95 And Windows NT 4.0)


Using StealthPing
=================

To Start StealthPing click on the StealthPing Icon either on the Desktop or in 
the Start Menu.  The StealthPing Dialog Box will then appear in front of you.  
StealthPing is most effective when it is used in the Stealth mode.  To use 
StealthPing in Stealth mode, DO NOT move the Slider Control, simply Mouse Click 
the Start Button and then minimize the Dialog Box. StealthPing is most effective 
in keeping a PPP/SLIP Connection alive when it is used in Stealth mode.  Also, 
it is least likely to be detected by PING sensor software on the other side of 
the PPP/SLIP Connection. (Version 1.25 Allows Up To 15 Clicks Of The Start Button)

Besides StealthMode(TM), StealthPing can be set to PING at a period rate by 
moving the Slider Control.  The slowest ping rate is 15 seconds and the fastest 
rate is 100 seconds.  If you set the ping rate on 15 seconds, you can look at 
the SD light on your modem and you will notice that a packet is sent every 15 
seconds.  

You can also move the slider to the other settings, 20, 40, 60, etc.  These 
settings are close but not exact, however the granularity of the slider is 1 
second, so it is possible to get 21,22,23 seconds etc., by experimenting.  If 
you move the Slider all the way over to the left the ping rate will be returned 
to Stealth mode.  Note - even after you have pressed Start it is still possible 
to change the Ping Rate by simply moving the slider to the desired rate.

If you are running StealthPing using a periodic rate, instead of Stealth mode 
and you find that your PPP/SLIP connection is timing you out, move the Slider 
all the way to the left and try running it in Stealth mode.

To manipulate the Slider Control's via the keyboard, press the Tab Key, until 
the Slider is activated.  After the slider is activated the following keys will 
manipulate the slider: (Arrow Keys,)(PgDn, PgUp,) (End, Home.)  After you have 
selected the desired rate, Tab over to the Start Button and press Enter. Start 
must be clicked before StealthPing will start to work. Note - The simplest 
operation is with the mouse, but the keyboard option is there for your 
convenience.

I had a lot of fun writing StealthPing and when I connect to my PPP connection, 
the first thing I do is start StealthPing.  At that point I can stay connected 
for hours of hassle free surfing....
