PPP Project Version 1.5 Beta-18
To install this version, you just need to overwrite the files in your main
BBS directory with the EXE files included here.
NOTE: This version includes a file called POP.DBG. This is a "debug"
version of the POP client used to send and receive mail, which
displays the messages sent between the PPP Project Software and
your ISP's mail server(s). If you have problems, you can rename
this file to POP.EXE and put it into your WWIV directory. overwriting
the standard POP.EXE. To force a callout from outside the BBS (so
that the error messages are not immediately cleared off the screen),
type the following command in the main BBS directory:
NETWORK /Nxx .y
where xx is the node number of any of the FILEnet systems you connect
to, and y is the number of FILEnet as defined in INIT, minus one.
PPP Project Version Number History:
o Version 1.5 Beta-18
Fixes the problem of last time called being messed up for non-Internet
systems, and allows the use of 0.0.0.0 to indicate dynamic IP address
assignment. Included a debug version of the POP routines to allow the
o Version 1.5 Beta-17
Fixed the problem of outgoing packets not being sent in Beta-16.
o Version 1.5 Beta-16
This release fixed the problem of LSL not unloading after callout, and
other crashes and problems created or still present in Beta-15. This
version was also rewritten to lower memory requirements, and removed the
hooks for using the Merit EtherPPP driver software (which is much less
stable than the KLOS driver currently used).
o Version 1.5 Beta-15
Goose's first attempt at fixing some of the problems in Beta-14, to
make the program more stable (less likely to crash). This version was
based on the code from beta-12 (after the beta-14 code was accidentally
trashed), so it may bring back problems created in the previous version.
This version also removed the built in ADDRESS.NET, BBSLIST.NET and
CONNECT.NET update capability that is now performed by the standard
FILEnet software.
o Version 1.5 Beta-14
The version released by Frank Reid in August 1996. This version had
all the hooks in for mail and newsgroups, but had problems under some
environments.
o Version 1.4
The last full packaged version of the software released. This version
did not include the gating of Internet Email or Newsgroups to the BBS,
although it had much smaller memory requirements. This version does
include an install program, although it is back level (and refers to
PPPnet, which existed before the merger with FILEnet).
