This document contains the following information: - how to get new registration keys (for registered users of previous versions of Stomper) - how to install the modem client for Windows 95 - how to install the modemserver for Windows 3.x/95 For general information on Stomper, see STOMPER.DOC, which is part of STPE321.ZIP The complete Stomper consists of: STPE321.ZIP - Modem-/ISDN-server for DOS Modem-server for Netware (NLM), Modem-/ISDN-Client for DOS and Win 3.x ST95E321.ZIP - (this archive): modemserver for Windows 3.x/95 modemclient for Windows 95 Both files and updates are available at different sites (see end of text). All server - client - combinations can be mixed (e.g. modemserver for DOS with Win95-client), as long as you don't mix versions. I. New registration keys ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The registration keys have changed since version 3.20. If you already have an older registration key, you can either obtain a new one free from our BBS (+49-7156-939006) or you can contact your Stomper-dealer and request a new key. To get a converted key from our BBS, just log in using the 'username' "New Key" and then follow the instructions. These converted keys do not include the new modemserver for Windows. See ORDER.EXE for upgrade price information. II. Installing the modemserver for Windows ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Note: it is still advisable to install STMGR.NLM on your Netware Fileserver first, if you are running Netware. This installation procedure works with both Windows 3.x and Windows 95. We will include a setup-program in future versions. 1. Copy all files of the Stomper-archive in one directory. 2. Copy all files with the ending .DLL into the Windows-SYSTEM directory. In case you already have a modemclient for Windows 95 running, you might have to restart your PC in DOS-mode - otherwise the operating system will not allow you to replace STNETIPX.DLL or STNETNB.DLL, whichever you are using. After having copied the DLL-files, you should delete them from the original directory (you must at least make sure, that CTL3DV2.DLL is NOT in the same directory as STWIN.EXE). 3. Now you can run STWIN.EXE. You will first be prompted to select the network-protocol (IPX/SPX or NetBios/NetBEUI). Later on you can change this setting by selecting "Options|Network..." from the menu. 4. To start a modemserver, select "Modemserver|New". From here you can access the online help, where you will find detailed information. III. Installing the modemclient for Windows 95 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The modemclient will run with any Stomper modemserver version 3.21 (DOS, NLM or Windows). We haven't included a setup program in this release yet, so the installation has to be done manually. But you will see that the whole process is very easy (don't get intimidated by the number of words in the following description - it looks worse than it is). 1. In case you have some Stomper-components of the DOS/Win3.x-version running on your Windows 95 PC, you must first uninstall them (remove NETFOS.COM from the WINSTART.BAT file and re-replace STCOMM.DRV by the original COMM.DRV in the SYSTEM.INI). 2. Make sure that the following files are in your Windows-SYSTEM directory: STCLNT.VXD STNETIPX.DLL STNETNB.DLL NWSPXIPX.DLL 3. Add the following line to the [386Enh]-section of your SYSTEM.INI device=stclnt.vxd 4. Create a new section [Stomper] in the SYSTEM.INI. - erstellen Sie einen neuen Abschnitt [Stomper] in der Datei SYSTEM.INI. Ex: [Stomper] Network=stnetipx.dll Port=COM3 Port=COM3 tells STCLNT.VXD to redirect COM3 to the modemserver. If you have a multi-modemserver license, your modemserver will usually have IDs. In that case, you must add a list of IDs of the modemservers your port should try to attach to, like Port=COM3,ab if you want to use Modemserver 'a' or 'b', whichever is available. This is equivalent to the /N-option used with Stomper for DOS. You can define up to 4 "Port=" entries, if you want to redirect multiple ports. You should choose Ports that are not physically installed. The entry "Network=..." tells STCLNT.VXD, which DLL to use for network communications. Currently you can choose from STNETIPX.DLL for the IPX/SPX-protocol and STNETNB.DLL for NetBios/NetBEUI. Notes: a) SPX/IPX make sure that STNETIPX.DLL and NWIPXSPX.DLL both are in your SYSTEM-directory NetBEUI: If you get the message "invalid LAN-adapter number", you will have to specify an adapter number (usually 0...7). For example, if the correct LAN-adapter number is 1, the line should read: Network=STNETNB.DLL,1 If you don't specify a number, 0 is assumed. Hint: because it is sometimes hard to determine the correct number, it is helpful to run STWIN and let it make the network entry (menu Options|Network). STWIN shows a list of available adapter numbers, which narrows the choice. 5. Restart Windows 95 At this point, your network port is already installed and ready for duty. Unfortunately some applications analyse the Windows registry to enumerate existing ports, so they will not "see" the new port. The easiest way to make this entry, is to install a fake standard serial port by choosing "add hardware" from your Windows 95 configuration manager.
