IPS is a multiprotocol server application allowing you to create your own ftp and/or mail server using your OS/2 or Windows machine. IPS supports FTP, POP3 and SMTP protocols. If you are running a dual OS setup IPS can use the exact same configuration on both OS/2 and Windows.

The only difference between the two platform version is the missing REXX and EA support of the Windows version.

Please not that the IPS mailing list is moved to eGroups.com to signup, there is a dialog on my web page.

The version of IPS is a MAJOR upgrade even though the version number would not indicate so. The overall performance has been improved to 10-15 times the one of the previous v0.85b6. So, if you felt IPS was slow or used to much CPU, these times are gone.

Logged changes since the previous version includes:
2000/02/20 21:00 InetPowerServer v0.86Beta1

What's new (system wide):

• Fix: NT version should work again.
• Fix: Minor Timer error when going into a new year (this was not a Y2k bug).
• Fix: LogIt procedure in bin\startos2.cmd wrote incorrect time values to log file.
• New: Added support for better debugging.
• New: History.bat or .cmd is executed from IPS itself instead of the startup script.
• New: Underlying tool kit has been optimized a lot, and there are still more to come.
• Fix: NT socket parameters in NT version correctly set.
• Fix: Error handling (and logging) improved.
• Fix: Statistics file handling improved, only write updates when needed.
• Fix: Overall performance improved a lot. Everything is much faster than before.
• Fix: Bad handle misuse corrected.
• New: Major redesign of internals, currently for easier code maintenance, will open for more possibilities later like dynamic service/group start/stop etc.
• Fix: Socket handling in NT version cleaned up a bit, this should make NT socket handling just as good as the one for the OS/2 version.

What's new (FTPd service):

• Fix: SITE WHO headers was moved one column to fit the output below.
• Fix: PASV now works in IPS32 also.
• New: ABOR command implemented for NT version.
• New: Rewritten internal handling of [ACCESS] sections.
• New: Added SITE RADM CGETS and UGETS functions to retrieve sections from configuration files.
• New: SITE HELP moved from REXX into IPS binary, msg\ftp.hlp file added.
  This makes it work on NT as well.

What's new (SMTPd service):

• Fix: Message retrieve speed improved some, more to be done.
• Fix: Message queue scanning activated for NT version as well.

This release includes the following new features and bugfixes over the last published version 1.42:

• support for Object Desktop's autostart features, which in combination with other WPS enhancements are often part of a hanging WPS problem upon startup. RexxAutoStart now addresses this issue, too. Code for this feature was provided by Chuck McCinnis.
• bugfix: Only capital letters were properly recognized on some parameter switches.
• draft of a GUI front end for RexxAutoStart.
  However, this is still unfinished.

For those of you who do not know what RexxAutoStart is: This program is a workaround for timing problems that lead to a WPS hang upon startup on certain OS/2 versions and fixlevels. Additionally it gives you a limited possibility to control the order of automatically started programs upon bootup and means to make any folder your startup folder.

RexxAutoStart is FREE software under the GNU GPL. Source code for RexxAutoStart is included. Source code for GUI front end upon request.

• Frei definierbare Toolbars mit
  • Stations Knöpfen
  • Einer Programm-Selektionsleiste

This version includes some significant bug fixes such as:

• Fixed message capturing with Step Recording module
• Fixed bug with incoming MIDI message while recording audio
• Fixed time bug in quantize module
• Fixed bug where Program change messages weren't being sent with certain MIDI files
• Added function callback for filtering incoming MIDI messages
• Fixed bug with endless loop function
• Fixed timing bug with MIDI metronome

The final edition was scheduled to be released yesterday February 14th. But given the fact that now there are real testers using the product and the above issues were identified I've decided to wait a week to give the testers time to use this version of the code.

For those of you who don't know what MIDI Station Sequencer is: Its a full-featured MIDI/Audio Sequencer available for the OS/2 platform and uses the RTMIDI (RealTime) MIDI Subsystem available in Warp 4.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions/issues regarding the program or using the MPU-401 driver with your sound card.

Be sure to read the README.os2 file in the zip file that you download, especially those of you who have been running previous versions on a FAT disk.

SETI@Home is a distributed computing project that scans radio data observed with the Arecibo radio dish in Puerto Rico for signals that might be of intelligent origin. For more info on the project, see the SETI@Home web site at: http://setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/.

Our TCP/IP ISDN dialer will be enhanced to include security features like NAT, Masquerading, Fierewalling and IPSec. This will allow users to build secure networks over the Internet at a pricing level which can't be reached with any hardware router (the small ones don't support IPSec, mide-range ones do, but normally IPSec is a software upgrade you have to pay for). We expect availability in Q2. For information check the homepage -> products -> webroute or send me mail if you are interested in the security stuff.

I ported rpm (Red Hat Package Manager) version 3.0.3 to OS/2. You can extract or install files from Linux CDROMs or Linux FTP sites. You can also make rpm packages for OS/2 users. I also ported dpkg (a low-level package manager for Debian GNU/Linux). It will be put in my page. If you'd like to use `dpkg' urgently, please e-mail me.

• Added new Channel extract module to allow user to "extract" data for one channel and dump it into another track. It also uses the Data Filter to allow you to filter what gets moved.
• Fixed and potential bug when loading MIDI files that have lyric data.

Lone Peak Automation is proud to announce the release of DP Show, a slide show and presentation tool with wireless remote control capabilities. With DP Show you can create and edit slide shows and display the pictures original size or scale them to full screen. Slide sequence can be controlled with the keyboard, mouse or using a wireless keychain controller with an X10 home automation interface. With the wireless keychain controller, you won't have to reach for the computer to advance to the next slide. In fact, you can forward, reverse, stop and jump to slide remotely.

This well-known enhancer adds new features to the OS/2 system like image movement in all windows by means of mouse and keyboard, frames and controls modified for OS/2 and Win-OS/2, Workplace Shell extension - the "Rooms around the Desktop", hot-keys definition for any OS/2 Warp version, various patches for OS/2, and much more. It is totally free... and now it is available in version 3.1.

The Pluto IKE Server for OS/2 is an extended and managed port of Pluto 1.1, found in the Linux FreeS/WAN IPSec implementation. Pluto is released with source code under the GNU General Public License - free of charge.

Pluto runs as a server and implements the IKE protocol (RFC 2409). It verifies identifies, chooses security policies, and negotiates keys for IPSec (RFC 2401) implementations.

IPSec (Internet Protocol Security) is an Internet standard for interconnected, secure networking devices and the predominant technology in Virtual Private Networks (VPNs).

New features in this OS/2 version:

• New support for 1DES strengthens the IPSec compatibility and provides a significant speed advantage over the safer 3DES encryption.
• Aggressive mode ISAKMP negotiation provides compatibility with implementations that rely on extended authentication, such as user accounts, certificates or soft tokens. This is an area of continued testing - please e-mail support@fx.dk for the latest developments.
• Extended Road Warrior support for remote branch offices that has the IPSec gateway on a dynamic IP address. Previously Road Warriors were defined to be individual users.
• Fixed a problem with TCP/IP 4.1 and aliases.

Successfully tested with these 3rd party IPSec implementations:

1. F-Secure VPN+ 4.2 for Windows
2. PGPnet 6.5.2a IPSEC Client from Network Associates

The IPSec Plugin is released as part of the InJoy Dialer (dial-out), InJoy Connect" (dial-in) and the InJoy Firewall. The Plugin enables these products to serve as an IPSec gateway, an IPSec server or as a simple VPN Client.

The release of an IKE Server and IPSec support for OS/2 is exciting news for enterprises seeking to provide secure connectivity for OS/2 branch offices, business partners, and travelling employees as well as data communications in the local area networks (intranet security).

Notice version 1.1 of Pluto is NOT compatible with previous versions of the InJoy IPSec plugin. A new Plugin will be released shortly.

• Fixed some timing issues with the metronome when using MIDI out. (Always worked fine when using wave file)
• Added new option to track recording. Can now set the MIDI channel to ALL which will allow any incoming MIDI messages on any channnel to be recorded on that track.
• When rewinding a sequence the mixer settings were being reset. This has been fixed.
• Other miscellaneous bug fixes

INISERVE
This update is needed only by those of you who use the "remote configuration" of PMSetup.

FTPSERVER
The latest changes are:

• Stopped PMSetup from looking at local drives when it should be looking at remote drives. The fix requires an upgrade to version 0.6 (or higher) of INIServe.
• Fixed a password problem - passwords were being mishandled as a side-effect of using PMSetup.
