   The InJoy PPPoE Client is designed to offer reliable PPP over Ethernet
   (PPPoE) connectivity. For the full description and the complete list of
   features, refer to the product homepage:

	http://www.fx.dk/pppoe

   This document explains how to install the product and for
   configuration and frequently asked questions, refer to:

	docs/pppoe.txt
	docs/pppoefag.txt

   The InJoy PPPoE Client does not incorporate security features. For
   PPPoE combined with Firewall, Internet sharing and VPN in one product,
   refer to the InJoy Firewall, available here:

	http://www.fx.dk/firewall



==========================================================================
 2. 	S Y S T E M   R E Q U I R E M E N T S

   o IBM OS/2 3.0
   o 486 66Mhz CPU
   o 8 MB total memory
   o 20 MB free disk space
   o TCP/IP v4.0 or newer
   o LAN-to-LAN connection to the Internet
   o At least one 10/100 Mb Network Interface Card

==========================================================================



   o Caution:

   You are about to install a product that adds a new device driver to
   your OS/2 system. The device driver layers with existing device drivers
   shipped with your LAN adapter(s) and incompatibility or bugs in these 
   drivers CAN (potentially) cause hazard to your OS/2 system. 

   If you are NOT experienced in the following areas:

        * TCP/IP networking and routing
        * OS/2 recovery options (i.e. the Maintenance Desktop)

   THEN please backup critical data before installing this software
   and/or consult a local expert or seek help on the Internet. F/X 
   Communications will in no way be held responsible for malfunctions
   or data loss inflected by our software.

   o MPTS

   Installation of FXWRAP.SYS makes it impossible for MPTS.EXE to
   correctly process PROTOCOL.INI. If you need to use MPTS to change
   your network and protocol configuration, then uninstall FXWRAP,
   make MPTS changes, and then reinstall FXWRAP. Simply use INSTALL.CMD 
   to install and uninstall FXWRAP. Takes only a few seconds.



==========================================================================
 4.	R A P I D   S T A R T    I N S T A L L
==========================================================================



   Prerequisites:

      1: Prepare an OS/2 PC with at least one LAN adapter.
      2: Ensure the TCP/IP protocol is installed for the LAN adapter.
      3: Ensure the LAN interface is enabled in the TCP/IP config.
      4: Assign a dummy IP address and netmask to the LAN interface.
         Anything but 0.0.0.0 is acceptable.

   Software Installation:

      1: Unzip the zipped archive into a product directory of choice.
      2: Run folder.cmd to create/update the desktop folder.
      3: Run install.cmd to install the FXWRAP.SYS device driver.
         (See 'Installing the device driver' section below).
      4: Reboot OS/2 to load the device driver.

   Getting Connected:

      1: Run PPPoE.EXE.
      2: Click the Right Mouse Button (RMB) to set up an ISP profile.
      3: Click RMB and select "Connect" from the pop up menu.
      4: Register (see registration section).



==========================================================================
 5. 	I N S T A L L   N O T E S
==========================================================================



   Run INSTALL.CMD from the product directory to install the mandatory
   device driver. 

   INSTALL.CMD will show a list of installed LAN adapters and you
   should choose the LAN adapter that is connected to the external
   network (i.e. Internet Link / ISP).

   INSTALL.CMD backs up CONFIG.SYS and PROTOCOL.INI before updating
   the files with the required changes. 

   The FXWRAP.SYS file will be automatically copied from the product 
   directory to x:\IBMCOM\MACS, where x: is the drive where MPTN is installed.

   o Reboot System.

   To load the newly installed device driver, please reboot your system.

   IMPORTANT: A new device driver can potentially cause malfunction and
   failure to boot. This can be caused by conflict with hardware or other 
   device drivers and although unlikely, this may happen to you.
   If you experience such troubles, you need to use OS/2 Warp's Maintenance 
   Desktop to recover your system. When you boot OS/2, you will see a white 
   box in the upper left hand corner followed by "OS/2." Hit ALT-F1, and a 
   menu pops up with several options such as immediately dropping to a 
   command line. Dropping to a command line allows you to manually uninstall
   (see troubleshooting section). Having done that you be able to reboot 
   normally and contact F/X Communications for further help.

   Uninstalling is done in three simple steps:

	1) Uninstall Device Driver
        2) Uninstall PPPoE software
        3) Reboot

   o Uninstall FXWRAP.SYS

   Uninstalling FXWRAP.SYS is done using the UNINSTAL.CMD and when running
   it, you will be prompted for an action:

          <I> to install FXWRAP
          <U> to uninstall previously installed FXWRAP

   Press 'U' followed by <Enter> to start uninstalling the device
   driver. The files CONFIG.SYS and PROTOCOL.INI will be updated.

   o Uninstall PPPoE Software

   In order to uninstall, simply delete files from from the product
   directory.

   o Reboot System

   This product is intended to be run WITHOUT command line parameters,
   but the following parameters are available.

   o Command Line Parameters

	-?  or -h   Show help message                     (text version only)
	-t          Enable packet tracing                 (text version only)
        -p<xx>      Priority from 1 to 100 (100 is max)   (text version only)
	-l[<file>]  Log messages to file                  (PM version only)
        -d          Extra debug info to output screen     (both versions)

    Option -t (trace)

     Enables packet tracing and should be used for diagnostic purposes
     only. Enabling this option in a production environment will 
     significantly reduce product performance.

    Option -p (priority)

     The priority parameter specifies the priority that OS/2 will assign 
     to the InJoy software. 

       -- Any value larger than 75 percent, will register the gateway as 
          a time critical process. Being time critical is a logic choice
          for a program handling the CPU demanding COM port.

       -- However, raising the value much above 90 percent may cause
          system hangs as the OS/2 scheduler will not allow other 
          processes to "wake up" when they are really needed.
