ISSUE

Provides "Dialer", an easy way to dial into SLIP/PPP servers and run LAN
WorkPlace or WinSock based networking applications.

In addition, this patch should improve SLIP/PPP performance (at higher rates)
through comm ports with 8250 and 16450 UARTs.

Dialer is a MS Windows utility which establishes connections between a
workstation, and network dial-in services on TCP/IP networks. 
Dialer opens connections by dialing in over telephone lines using the
workstation's modem.  Once connected, you can use any combination of LAN
WorkPlace or WinSock based networking applications to communicate over the
network.  You can also set up Dialer to make connections automatically and to
answer incoming calls.

Installation Instructions:
IMPORTANT: ALL of these steps are required.

1.  ****NOTE:  Some users of DOS SLIP/PPP will not want to install this patch.
****  
  A. ***The files in LWP203 do not support Netware Client [ip-tunnelling] or
NFS Client access over SLIP/PPP.***
  B. ***The new SLIP/PPP drivers CANNOT BE USED WITH ANY OTHER DIALER, but the
Windows one included in this patch.***  

2. Before installing LWP203, make a backup copy of the SLIP_PPP.COM that ships
with LAN WorkPlace for DOS 4.x.  

3. Download and install LWP207.EXE (Updated LAN WorkPlace for DOS drivers).

4. Download and install LWP208.EXE (Updated LAN WorkPlace for DOS
Applications).    

5. Secure LSL.COM version 2.05 or later.  Version 2.05 is part of the Netwire
patch DOSUP9.EXE, in the NOVFILES Forum.

6. Copy the following files to \NET\BIN:
  SLIP_PPP.COM   Serial ODI driver (SLIP & PPP frames)
  SLPMON.EXE     VxD for Serial ODI to Windows API
  SLPAPI.DLL     DLL interface for Modem access via ODI
  DIALER.EXE     Dialer Main Program
  DIALER.HLP     Dialer Help file
  MDMAPI.DLL     Modem API Linkage DLL
  CONFIG.EXE     Initial Configuration Program
  CONFIG.HLP     Initial Configuration Help file

7. Copy the following files to \NET\HSTACC:  
  CODES.DLR      International Area Code database
  AIOMDMS.MDC    Modem Definition Script collection

NOTE: If the "PATH LWP_CFG" variable points to a different path or series of
paths, put these two files there instead.  

8. The use of Dialer requires that MS Windows run in "386 Enhanced" mode.

9. Read DIALER.TXT for required instructions to configure Dialer and make
changes to your system files.

10. From time to time, a new version of AIOMDMS.MDC, supporting more modems,
will be available in Library 9 of NOVLIB, as NWCMOD.EXE.  


Patch History:

Rev. B of LWP203 differs from Rev. A in two ways.
1. Rev. B has a newer AIOMDMS.MDC with support for more modems.
2. Some files that were in rev. A are now, instead, included in LWP207 and LWP
208.
