What is cFos Broadband Connect?

cFos Broadband Connect is a high-performance Dial-Up driver for Internet Access with high bandwidth. While the driver shipped with Windows can only transfer up to 4.5 Mbyte/s (= 36 Mbit/s), cFos Broadband Connect sends with 50 Mbyte/s (= 400 Mbit/s).
Tested with Gigabit LAN, Pentium 4 (3GHz).

cFos Broadband Connect is designed for maximum throughput under minimum CPU load. This leaves your CPU power to the actual Internet applications, like media players, etc. At full speed cFos Broadband Connect needs only 3% CPU time.

cFos Broadband Connect supports all important PPPoE parameters. These can easily be configured with the phone number used for the Dial-Up connection. With Auto-Detect cFos Broadband Connect finds all Internet access points connected to your system.

cFos Broadband Connect can also accept incoming calls. Thereby you can setup your own PPPoE server. This also allows your own speed tests with Gigabit ethernet cards.

cFos Broadband Connect allows multiple PPPoE sessions simultaneously. You can use any number of incoming and outgoing sessions. With the Service-Name' and 'AC-Name' parameters you can restrict connections to certain services or access points.

cFos Broadband Connect supports NDIS 6 under Vista, thereby providing even more network performance.

cFos Broadband Connect and cFosSpeed: A perfect team. High-performance data transfer plus Traffic Shaping, ie. maximum bandwidth and minimal Ping.

System requirements:

• Windows XP / Windows Vista
• 32bit / 64bit (x64)
• DSL modem on ethernet adapter
• PPPoE internet access

Format of the phone number:

   x\idx\service_name\host_uniq\ac_name\timeout\tries

   Parameter      Default      meaning
   x              (empty)      any digits, ignored
   idx            -1           -1=auto-detect, 0..n=PPPoE only for network adapter n
   service_name   (empty)      service name, requested for outgoing calls
   host_uniq      1            1=use PPPoE host unique tag, 0=don't use it
   ac_name        (empty)      for outgoing PPPoE: only accept whose name contains ac_name as substring
   timeout        2000         for outgoing PPPoE: timeout in milliseconds for server answers
   tries          3            number of retries on timeout

Parameters of cfosBC.ini, section [param]:

   func_trace     0            logging level, 0=minimum, 1=all functions, except data transmission,
                               2=also log data transmission functions
   wan_lines      2            number of channels for incoming and outgoing connections;
                               you need to restart the driver if you change this value
   allow_incoming_calls 0      1=allow incoming calls, 0=ignore incoming calls
   use_delayed_send 0          1=delayed send for stack problemens under NDIS 6, 0=deactivated
                                 Some network adapters cause a BSOD due to a stack overflow.
                                 Then you should look for newer drivers for this adapter. If this
                                 doesn't help, set use_delayed_send to 1.
   dump_unknown_frames 1       1=dump unknown PPPoE Frames into the trace.txt, 0=deactivated
   in_service_name (empty)     anwser incoming calls only if the service name contains the substring
                               specified by in_service_name.
   padr_timeout 2000           timeout in milliseconds. Specifies how long cFos Broadband Connect should wait
                               for PADR during incoming calls.
