        Requirements

    OS/2 with TCP/IP installed.
    Use IPSPEED.EXE for TCP/IP 3.0 and later, which is included in Warp Connect
    and probably all newer versions of OS/2.
    Use IPSPEED2.EXE for previous versions of OS/2.



        Installation

    Simply copy the request EXE (see above) to a directory of your choice.
    If you like to have a programm object for IP Speed on your desktop,
    consult your OS/2 documentation.



        Short description

    IPSpeed measures the speed of your tcp/ip interfaces. Every interface
    (network, ppp or others) can be selected for measuring. The following
    values are displayed for both directions of data-flow:

    - total bytes transferred through this interface
    - average bytes per seconds transferred (in the last three seconds)
    - maximum average bytes per seconds

    A small diagram shows the average bytes per seconds for the last 35
    seconds. All values and the diagram are updated every second.

    IPSpeed includes a popup menu (click with mouse button 2 anywhere on the
    window surface). The popup menu includes the following items:

    - Reset All : resets all values for the current interface to zero
    - Reset Max : resets the "max cps"-values to zero
    - Reset Total : reset the "total bytes"-values to zero
    - View All : show all information
    - View Graph : show graph only
    - View Total : show total only
    - View Estimated : show estimated only
    - View Max : show max only
    - Smoothed curve : smoothes curve in graph
    - Always on top : the IPSpeed window will float to the top of your display
      every time new values are displayed
    - Titlebar : show or hide the titlebar of the IPSpeed window
    - Set default interface : the current interface will be automatically 
      selected the next time IPSpeed is started
    - About : what do you think? (:-)
    - Quit : what do you think? (:-)



        Some other tips:

    The IPSpeed window can be dragged directly with mouse buttons 1 or 2 on
    the window surface (this may be useful, when the titlebar is hidden).

    If the default interface does not exist during startup of IPSpeed, it will
    be automatically selected the first time it occurs.

    Double-clicking on a subwindow sets view mode (see above).
    Double-clicking on any other region of the main window shows/hides 
    titlebar.
