o Release 2.0b (Beta)

- DOD improved.
-- Instant DOD removes need for an initialization call.
-- DOD trigger packet in the DOD.DMP file.
-- Implemented filtering plugin.
- Numerous PPP implementation changes to meet requirements of a PPP
Server and allow shared PPP code between projects.
- New registration scheme (includes expiration of 1.x and earlier
Basic registrations).
- Introduced new way of adding the PPP0 interface on Warp 4. Got rid
of the annoying .0 route.
- Support for PING from NAT clients. Done by broadcasting
ICMP replies to all NAT clients.
- Support for IRC DCC CHAT and IRC DCC SEND via NAT.
- If InJoy sees a default route at startup, it is now removed
at connect and restored at disconnect.
- TCP/IP 4.1 support.
- New internal code libraries (DLL's) for:
-- Common OS/2 functions used in all F/X products
-- Low level IP
-- NAT/Masquerading
-- Filtering
-- Firewall
- Autostart section
-- "Hangup and Exit", now runs the programs set up to autostart at
InJoy Disconnect.
-- Fixed the problem of not being able to start programs after a
while (caused by InJoy "remembering" every started program, even
when it didn't need too).
-- No longer mandatory to specify a working directory. If not
specified the path name from the .EXE name will be used. (Just
like OS/2 usually does it.)
- InJoy no longer prompts for user-action when RESOLV file could not
be updated. The situation is just logged!
- Added date to IN-JOY.TRC file.
- Fixed the bug causing the following two settings to be swapped:
-- Average CPS based on data sent.
-- Average CPS based on data received.
- If the COM port can't be opened, InJoy will now retry till a key
is pressed.
- Added the option for showing or removing the "connected box".
- The "connected box" now shows the number of FCS errors in the
session.
- A press of SHIFT-F9 now dumps the NAT table (masqed users).
- Added an option to allow a "send terminate request" prior to InJoy
initiating the hang up.
- Added triggered dialing capability from SETJOY.EXE.

F/X Communications

F/X Communications was founded in Denmark in 1996 by Bjarne Jensen. Mr. Jensen is a professionally trained Software Engineer with over 15 years of computing experience. For the last six years he has been at the center of communications programming in one of the leading companies on Denmark's data communications scene.
Those years focused on providing online solutions for European businesses ranging from Videotex in the Netherlands to setting up home banking protocols for progressive Danish banks. His expertise was indispensable to the Danish Diatel Project and, most recently he was a key figure in the development of public Internet access capability provided by TeleDanmark.
When asked why he decided to eave after six successful years, Mr. Jensen responded:
"The explosive interest in the Internet and World Wide Web coupled with the immediate acceptance of my InJoy Dialer led me to the conclusion that the time was right to strike out on my own. It was a tough decision to resign my previous position wich was both exciting and challenging but this just seemed like a most opportune time to form F/X Communications".
