- To Install SIO, change to the disk and directory containing the
- (unziped) SIO distribution files and type INSTALL, followed by
- return.
-
- This release of SIO (V1.40) contains corrections and additions to
- the basic code. See HISTORY.TXT in the distribution zip for
- details. The on line SIO documentation files (.INF) are not
- included in this release of SIO. Insufficient time was available
- to update the on line documentation.
-
- PCMCIA modem users that added RESERVE.SYS to their CONFIG.SYS for
- SIO 1.35 should now remove the statement. The SIO install
- program will REM out that statement automatically.
-
- SIO has been tested on OS/2 V3.0 and seems to work without
- changes or additions. This version of SIO contains additions
- that make SIO Resource Manager compliant.
-
- Windows better than Windows! If you are using COMM.DRV from
- Windows for Workgroups 3.11, SIO will now support the
- communications directly. That is, Windows programs will be
- directly supported by SIO proper, and the virtualization that
- existed in earlier versions of SIO is bypassed. In this
- environment, Windows communications programs should work as well
- as native OS/2 communications programs. Thanks to Rob Rose of
- IBM for some critical information about the Windows
- communications interface.
-
- The SIO support BBS is now available via Internet using VMODEM or
- Telnet. The Internet address is 199.248.240.2.
-
- VMODEM version 1.00 is included in this release of SIO.
- VMODEM.EXE is a virtual modem implementation that allows serial
- communications programs to work over the Internet. VMODEM also
- includes a Telnet server. VMODEM allows virtually any data
- communications program, including your favorite BBS software, to
- use an Internet connection instead of a telephone line. Several
- existing BBSes and now accessible via Internet. Most took only
- about 5 to 10 minutes to setup under VMODEM. I wonder if
- Internet is ready for the explosion that is about to come.
-
- VMODEM.EXE was developed and tested under IBM's TCP/IP Version
- 2.0 with the August 1994 CSD applied, and has been tested with
- the Internet Access Kit (IAK) that is included in the bonus pack
- of OS/2 V3. However, your are on your own with respect to any
- setup of TCP/IP.
