Frequently Asked Questions about NTFOSS:
1) Installation:
----------------
To install NTFOSS read NTFOSS.DOC carefully.
2) Registering NTFOSS:
----------------------
To Register NTFOSS look at REGISTER.DOC and PRICES.DOC.
3) Problem: Can't open com port:
--------------------------------
This problem may occour if you start NTFOSS directly after booting and
you have several services installed. The problem is, that serial.sys, the
COM-Port driver has not been started yet.
Solution:
Increase the priority of starting serial.sys:
Log on as Administrator or equivalent, open Control Panel/Devices, choose
Serial then Startup. Change it from "Automatic" to "System".
4) Transmitting is slow:
------------------------
Solution: Start NTFOSS with parameter "/A0". This will disable automatic
mode. If this problem can't be solved in this way read
"Performance of some BBS programs"
5) Performance of some BBS programs:
------------------------------------
Some BBS programs have performance troubles with NTFOSS. The problem is
that those programs don't use the fast blocktransfermode. They transfer
each byte to NTFOSS which is unfortunaly slow.
I hope this problem will be solved in one of the future versions.
6) Longer trial period and testing of more than one line a the same time:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you have troubles using NTFOSS and need a longer trial period or
you want to test NTFOSS on more than one line please contact me. Also if
you have tested NTFOSS some time ago (and your key has already been
expired) and you want to test a newer version of NTFOSS feel free to
contact me. You will receive a time limited demo key for especially
for your problem.
7) Key for developers:
----------------------
If you are a developer you will receive a free "3 or more" License key.
A "developer" in this case is a person who has already released
FOSSIL compatible software and wants to test NTFOSS with his developed
software. If you develop software, but you didn't release that software
for the public yet, contact me.
8) Problems with XP (Cross Point):
----------------------------------
If you have troubles using XP (NT says that the comport is already used,
Terminate or Ignore) use the next release after 3.1.
This release will be version 3.11. The troubles should be fixed in this
release. This version has already been released or should be released
in the next few weeks.
9) Troubles activating NTFOSS:
------------------------------
Q: I start NTFOSS in one "DOS-Box" and start the program in another.
But this does not work.
A: You have to start the program in the "DOS-Box" where you started
NTFOSS.
10) NTFOSS works, but there is no response from the modem:
----------------------------------------------------------
If you used the settings in SAMPLE.BAt, check if your modem supports
115200 baud and if the other parameters are ok. If it does not support
those baudrates, reduce it to the maximal speed of your modem.
11) REGISTER.EXE returns no "successfully installed." message:
--------------------------------------------------------------
On some Windows NT Server machines REGISTER.EXE did (or maybe does)
not work correctly. Since this problem is not reproducable,
it is hardly to find. Maybe this problem has already fixed with
NTFOSS 1.0 Gamma 7. If you can not install the demo key,
please write to me. You will receive a "special" key.
If you have troubles with another part of software or NTFOSS let me know it!
