- DATACORE PPP SOFTWARE V1.113
-
- DataCore PPP v1.113, a Point-to-Point Protocol software for systems
- running under NeXTStep 3.1 and higher, is offered for SPARC, Intel,
- NeXT and HPPA architectures, but HPPA and SPARC are still
- in beta testing stage.
-
- DataCore's Point-to-Point Protocol Software is especially designed
- for NeXTStep platforms to interconnect local area networks or to
- simply connect a standalone NeXTStep machine to the Internet via a
- service provider. The self installing package comes with a highly
- integrated NeXTStep application for easy handling of configuration
- files, daemon control and administration.
-
- DataCore PPP is able of demultiplexing an IP packet stream on
- several transport devices (RS-232 modems as well as TCP/IP based
- modems and probably ISDN adaptors soon), regarding the speed and
- load of each device.
-
- The common Van Jacobsen TCP header compression algorithms, protocol
- field compression, address and control field compression enhance
- the link performance of DataCore PPP. In addition to the standard
- PPP escape an extended escaping method increases the reliability
- of the link. The built-in priority manager promises faster
- interactive sessions for services like telnet or rlogin. An
- implementation of a well known LZW compression and DES encryption
- algorithm guarantee security and high performance.
-
- For authentification purposes the standard user/ password
- authentification protocol (UPAP) and the improved challenge
- authentification protocols (CHAP) are supported by the software.
-
- Other features like selective dial on demand, packet rejecting,
- idle timeouts and priorities are each configurable by IP packet
- patterns (source/destination ip, source/destination ports, and all
- other important information in IP headers). These patterns can be
- grouped together into named timegroups being active in a separately
- configurated time interval. All these features can be easily
- configured either by the included NeXTStep application or by editing
- the human readable configuration files with an UNIX texteditor.
-
- DataCore PPP is able to support individual dialup scripts. The
- administrator is pleased to write them in whatever language he
- prefers (Perl, C, or for simple dialups even shell scripts, using
- the included UNIX commands).
-
- To interactively control the DataCore PPP a UNIX command is included
- to change the configuration, link state and logging style at runtime.
-
- For easy setup of the software an logging system is included. It's
- possible to enable or disable groups of log messages which may be
- separated into individual files.
-
- Not like other PPP software, this package is well separated into
- two parts: A very small loadable kernel server and a daemon
- responsible for most of the functionality. This separation grants
- a highly stable product since most of the complex code is running
- outside the kernel space.
-
- To sum it up it can be said that DataCore PPP is the most advanced
- and user friendliest PPP software for NeXTStep 3.1 and higher.
