[ 5 ] PPP Project for WWIV - Files to build to the latest
reasonably * stable * Beta.
The PPP Project for WWIV is developed by Frank Reid
and other Sysops involved in enabling Internet and
WWIV connectivity ( packets, email, newsgroups ).
************************************************************************
When installing the PPP Project be sure to read the docs and the FAQ's!
************************************************************************
Please back up your BBS before installation. If you would like example
Batch files you can modify for your system to back up to your BBS to
floppies, another hard drive, or a removable drive such as a Zip drive,
then feel free to email me. I might take a few days to reply ( Sorry! )
so hang in there for a bit if you ask for those. ( I'm targeting posting
the example Batch files here later this year --- or early in 1998 ).
************************************************************************
( 1 ) Rename your NET 35 or NET 36 NETWORK.EXE to NETWORK0.EXE
before you unzip the PPP zip files into your WWIV dir.
( 2 ) Unzip the PRE-B34.ZIP into your WWIV dir.
This has some helpful Batch files and an old README.DOC from
the original PPPPJ14.ZIP. Anywhere you see PPPnet referred to
in old docs - read that now as FILEnet.
Then unzip PPP15B39.ZIP into your WWIV dir.
( 3 ) Create a Network called FILEnet in your INIT. Then unzip the
FILENET.ZIP into your FILEnet Network directory. There are
several FILEnet utilities here at the PPP Web Site ( above ).
When you apply to join FILEnet, please be sure to email your
Network App to a GC --- they are listed in the FBACKHDR.NET.
( 4 ) Apply the info in the PPP Project FAQ, and the PPP Newsgroups
FAQ. Ignore references to old filenames before PPP15B39.ZIP.
Ignore references to PPPnet ( it merged into FILEnet ).
( 5 ) Check for a Bug Report Link here at the PPP Web Site - coming soon.
*********************************************************
You will need to download PPPSHARE.EXE from www.klos.com.
*********************************************************
Extract the contents of the PPPSHARE.EXE into your WWIV directory.
If you desire to do so - you can register the KLOS drivers. It may be
as low as $10 for the 'IP only' version. Info is in the PPPSHARE.EXE.
Many WWIV Sysops have registered the drivers in support of Shareware.
If you are experiencing problems with KLOS drivers under Windows 95 - then
ask on the PPP Development / Support sub about the settings for the Shortcut
settings ( Win95 version of a 'PIF' file that earlier versions of Windows
used ) and set it to 'do not detect Windows'. More info on that is also in my
'WWIV and Win95 FAQ' ( on this web site... above here ). Info about several
of the WWIV Networks that the PPP Development / Support sub is on can be
found in the PPP Project FAQ.
If you are experiencing problems with KLOS drivers ( cannot load PPP, etc )
under Windows 3.1 or Windows for Workgroups, and you have asked questions on
the PPP Support / Development sub to rule out other problems with the PPP
Project --- for things to check with your BBS's configuration that may not
have been added to the FAQ yet ( I am overdue for an update to that, I hope
to get to it in Oct / Nov 1997 ) --- then please send a polite request to the
KLOS, Inc team with your registration that 'they make Windows support
available in the future versions of their software by removing their Windows
detection code from the KLOS drivers'.
