With In-Joy you can log on to a PPP using interactive mode
entering your USERID and PASSWORD manually.  This is
necessary for my work account since I don't know my
password at the beginning of the dial-up session. I have to
look at a company provided "James Bond Type" credit card
sized password generator that changes my password every
minute.  I have to type in the password that is appearing
in the window at the EXACT TIME OF MY LOGIN.
Well, you ask for one thing.  There are many more.
However I too have been satisfied with the provided DOIP
except for this one area.

SIO can lock a port, Comm.Sys can not.  This is a virtual
requirement while running BBS software (OS/2 or DOS) that
calls DOS BBS Doors.  Other than that, the Comm.Sys isn't
bad.  I've been running Warp since version 2.0 first came
out (had it before the retailers).  SIO has always been
better for me.  Even now.
 LS> So I await some users who can convince me to change
If you can't tell the difference in what you do, you don't
need either one.  But... you have to be pretty
knowledgeable to make that determination some times. Many
users don't know the tipe of problems that SIO would solve
when they see them.  Same with In-Joy.
