1.0 What is Inetserv?
 InetServ is a free program which supports many Internet Services
 like SMTP, POP3, DAYTIME,FINGER,WHOIS, and a ChatServer.

 1.1 What is SMTP?
 SMTP stands for simple Mail transport protocol, its for delivery of mails.
 InetServ can't route. This means: If your hostname is funny.net, then you
 can't send emails to ugly.net via InetServ.

 1.2 What is POP3?
 POP3 is for receiving emails. With POP3 you can fetch email from a server.
 POP3 is secured by a username and a password.

 1.3 What is DAYTIME?
 Daytime is a service that simple tells the client the day and the time.
 InetServ only supports the TCP-Service of DAYTIME.

 1.4 release.txt now added. Comments about new versions are there.

2.0 Setting up InetServ
 2.1 Installing on Windows 95
 Just unzip the files and run InetServ.exe
 First you must click on initialize Registry,
 then you can do the rest of the setup.

 2.2 Installing on Windows NT
 Just unzip the files and run InetServ.exe
 First you must click on initialize Registry,
 then you can do the rest of the setup.

  2.2.1 Installing it as a service
  When installing InetServ on NT, you might want to run
  it as a full Server-Service.
  This is almost easy! Just run the Program inetsvc.exe with 
  the following parameters:
  inetsvc -i	Install the service (Goto Control/Services to start it)
  inetsvc -u	Uninstall the service (Goto Control/Services to stop it)
  The diplay name for InetServ is: "InetServ Windows NT Service"
  Note: you must run InetServ in Display mode, before running as a service.
  So start InetServ.exe several times. :)

 2.3 Setting up a simple Mail Server
  Just click on the "Mail Server" Button, and set the right ports:
  SMTP is 25, POP3 is 110. Now you can Enter a Username, 
  the login name, and the passwort.
  When running InetServ as a NT-Service you must edit the file POPUSER.CTL
  and Telnet InetServ on Port 110:
  Start/Run: TELNET localhost 110
  Then type: INETRSET, to tell InetServ to update the Userlist.
  I know this is not a nice way, there will be a remote Setup tool soon.
  You also need to fill out the "You are" list. It tells InetServ,
  when ever handle a mail local, or as unknown.
  Sample: 192.168.10.1 , tobit.net, localhost, etc...

  2.3.1 The File POPUSER.CTL
  Here all users are stored, who can use InetServ.

  2.3.2 The File AKA.CTL
  This file contains your names (see above at section 2.3)
  
 2.4 Logging
 You can log to screen or to file. First you should log to screen and file.
 if the server runs well, log to file only. InetServ creates rotating log-files,
 this means every da a new log-file. (*.log)

2.5 Testing the Services
 To Test the services, simple setup a Mail Program like
 Netscape Messenger ,Internet Mail or Eudora
 Or Telnet the services at the specific ports.
 TELNET <hostname> <portname>
