The format of Provider Information File

This file is composed of "AP sections". Each "AP section" describe an access point or linkage. the format of an AP section is as follows: [< provider service name > .< AP name > ] < key name > = < value > < key name > = < value > : : One sentence must be within one line(ended with "line feed" code). Each sentence has following meaning.

1. Section Header

"[< provider service name > .< AP name > ]" is section header. "< provider service name > " is service name and "< AP name > " is access point name. The total characters including "." must be less than 55. If you have more than two AP's, you should make AP sections for each AP with different < AP Name >. "< provider service name > " is usually the same for all AP sections except special cases. Since this "< AP name > " ( and "< provider service name > ") are shown in the main dialog AP list for user to choose, the distinguishable and understandable name will be advised. "< provider service name > .< AP name >" must be surrounded by square brackets("[]"). And "[" must be the first letter of the line. "< provider service name > " and "< AP name > " must not include square bracket, period("."), nor control codes(tab, new line, etc). Each "AP section" must be preceded with this section header. example of section header [NetVision.Numazu]
