InetPowerServer v0.86b1 is now available from:

  ftp://ftp.iq.to 

The filename is ips086b1.zip.

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 -
http://home.eunet.no/~ill/projects/

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.
