INJOY DIALER™ 3.0
(SOON TO BE RELEASED)
While dial-up access is definitely on the retreat, the
InJoy Dialer continues to find new areas of use and
it's still one of the most powerful Internet dialers in
the world.
The InJoy Dialer™ is currently available for download as a version 3.0 Release Candidate - with final release scheduled within the third quarter of 2004.
InJoy Dialer 3.0 offers the
same multi-platform firewall
and VPN features that you will
find in the InJoy Firewall™.
You need the Multi-Platform InJoy Dialer™ when the dial-up networking capability of your operating system just isn't powerful or flexible enough. On Windows, you might want to just use the InJoy Firewall™ product on top of the built-in Windows Dialer, however on OS/2 and Linux this is not technically feasible and then you need the InJoy Dialer™.
The InJoy Dialer™ 3.0 is a completely self-contained multi-platform PPP dial-in and dial-out Internet Dialer. Through its range of mission-critical connectivity features — optimized for traditional phone lines and ISDN — it offers unattended operation and robust [24/7] connections.
Next Generation Firewall protection, gateway capability, and enterprise-grade IPSec VPN capability makes InJoy Dialer™ the perfect choice for dial-up based embedded systems, home-network gateway, mobile workers, remote offices and unattended use (such as ATM and POS terminals).

OTHER PRODUCT DEVELOPMENTS
IPSEC TOOLKIT
www.fx.dk/ipsec-toolkit.html
The IPSec Toolkit is enabling technology offered to large organizations that need to deliver IPSec VPN capability to their own customers. The IPSec Toolkit has been one of our most successful products in 2003, leaving competition in awe and customers wanting more.
Among the major new features is NetOctave hardware acceleration, with which we achieved more than 250Mbit per second (using 3DES encryption, a NetOctave board, and normal Intel based PC equipment). This score is among the highest ranking in the industry and thus pulled some industry head-lines:
www.cyberguard.com/news_room/press_releases_040112.cfm Further, the high performance allowed a specific customer to use the F/X IPSec Toolkit to test the performance of other market-leaders. Here is why they selected the F/X IPSec Toolkit:
"[…] A toolkit that could scale linearly in our environment, that keeps current with functional standards, could be easily tailored to our product without architectural changes, and would exceed the quality offered by our customers. Both the F/X product offering and technical support has exceeded our requirements and expectations. […]"

PACKET INTERCEPTING / NDIS TOOLKIT
www.fx.dk/ndis-toolkit.html
The Packet Intercepting / NDIS Driver Toolkit is a business offering that came into existence out of a very simple need. F/X's InJoy Firewall™ software needed to safely intercept ALL incoming and outgoing IP packets from the networking subsystem (not just Winsock traffic).
Once IP packets are intercepted, they needed to get efficiently transported to a simple user-land application, in which they would get handled as necessary. The Toolkit offers this capability, and more, uniquely across multiple operating systems
So why make this into a product? Well, writing truly solid drivers is a breath-taking challenge that many companies would like to avoid. When we started we weren't quite aware just how challenging it would be, however at this point, we believe we can help others by offering our proven technology.
This toolkit makes it easy to:
P
Intercept IP packets as they flow through existing Ethernet Network Cards (and Dial-Up WAN adapters on Windows).P
Send, receive and filter RAW Ethernet Frames (IP traffic).P
Completely avoid device driver programming. Your application operates solely in user-land, thus avoiding kernel space complexity and limitations.P
Easily query LAN adapter information.P
Use an OS platform unified interface for supporting multiple Operating System platforms, including Windows, Linux, FreeBSD and OS/2.P
Easily install and uninstall required components, using manual OS driver installation, scripted, or programmable installation.To top off this offering, we offer 5+ test programs to illustrate anything from the simplest possible network application to a complete hardware accelerated IPSec Client/Server. Never has it been easier for businesses to get started in the networking market.
“[…] F/X Communications provided us with a framework that allowed us to shorten our development time; Instead of spending months on research and testing, we had a basic client ready in just a few days. […]", said Marc Kurtz, Lead Engineer, Backbone Security's Ribcage product line.
