Personally, I use PM Comm 2.0, TE/2 2.0, and HyperACCESS/5 3.0.

Three different programs because one alone doesn't do everything I want.

Here's some pros and cons in MY view of each programs:

PM Comm 2.0
PRO
1. It's PM.
2. Displaying ANSI or text is FAST. Fastest of the three (assuming the other
two is in windowed mode).
3. Easy to use interface. Easy to learn script language.

CONS
1. Hangs at the end of an upload sometimes. This may be my system's fault.
2. Sending a BREAK will deadlock OS/2. HARD reboot required. Again, this may be
attributed to my system. Am using a Practical Peripherals 14.4K FAX internal.

TE/2 2.0
PROS
1. Everything works as advertised (except one thing).
2. My quick and dirty comm program. Loads up fast and easy to configure via
ASCII *.INI files.

CONS
1. Ymodem-G doesn't work for me.
2. Very scrolling in windowded mode. 14.4K looks like 2400 baud!

HyperACCESS/5 3.0
PROS
1. HIGHLY configurable. Can redefine almost every single key stroke. Very
powerful script language. 
2. Relatively fast scrolling in windowded mode.
3. Lots of bells and whistles. 

CONS
1. The dial script sucks. The default is 20 tries before giving up. This is
ridiculous for me. I changed it 99. 
2. Multiple dialing is a pain. You go into dial mode. Hit CNTRL+ENTER to go
into mark phone numbers mode. Mark 'em. Hit CNTRL+ENTER again. Pick
dial all until connected (doesn't work for me; dials one # and it gives up)
or dial each number x times. Enter x. Can they just do a point and click?
3. It sends the modem init string EVERY time it dials a new system in multiple
dial! Why I dunno. I tried editing the dial script to remove that but then
it won't run my login scripts any more.

Looking at that you may thing I hate HA. Not really. It's the dial script I
hate.

My dream comm program for OS/2 is {COMMO} for DOS. Small (around 30K .COM
file); the macros, phone directory, and set up file is in plain ASCII, making
it extremely easy for me to use QEdit to edit 'em.

And throw in GSZmodem and HS/Link for OS/2 and I'm one happy dude!

Hi All,

The subject line pretty much says it all.  It ran fine before the SP, but
now it just says "Packed file is corrupt" and exits.  I've tried migrating
it, and tried running it from a specific DOS session.  When I try running
it from the specific DOS session, it starts but then hangs after a while.
Any ideas?  I would like to play the game without having to install a
separate DOS partition.  

As an aside, SimCity runs fine.  Thanks in advance for any help.

My system:  486/33, AMI/Opti, 8MB, ATI Graphics Ultra, Logitech serial mouse
on COM1, GA+SP+new UHPFS.DLL.

Subject: Trident SVGA Problems
From: chris@actrix.gen.nz (Chris Double)
Date: Mon, 28 Dec 1992 14:03:07 GMT
Organization: Actrix Networks

Hi.

I've got a problem with my OS/2 system and was wondering if anyone
else has experienced this problem.

When OS/2 boots, the OS/2 logo appears. This clears with a cursor in
the upper left for about 30 seconds then the WPS desktop appears.
This is a normal boot.

If any device driver (loaded in CONFIG.SYS) displays a message on the screen at the stage of the cursor being in the upper left I lose Super VGA
ability in my DOS/WINOS2 sessions. It doesn't even have to be a
device driver displaying the message. If the HPFS system does an
autocheck of the disks and displays the results this causes the
problem too. Any access of the screen at this point appears to be
the problem.

Luckily, no original OS/2 device drivers write to the screen. Some
third party drivers I want to use do and this results in no SVGA. 

I still get SVGA on the WPS desktop with no problem (ie. at
800x600x16 resolution). It's only DOS & WINOS2 where I lose it. Any
SVGA program (CSHOW, WINOS2 at 640x480x256) displays strangely. I
also get sync problems swapping between DOS and OS/2 desktop.

If I remove any drivers that display to the screen, all is ok again.
Weird. Anyone else experiencing these problems? I would appreciate
any ideas as to how to fix this!!!

For the record, my system is:

386DX/40Mhz 8MB Ram
200MB hard drive
Trident TVGA D3.01 9000 card with 512K
Soundblaster Pro at IRQ5, DMA1, ADDR220
Internal 14.4K Modem/Fax at COM1
COM1 disabled on motherboard leaving only COM2.
LPT1 at IRQ7

I've tried disabling caching on the AMI Bios setup, enabling caching
but no change.

If you have any ideas I'd love to hear from you!

Thanks,

Chris Double.

As of Version 3.0, HA5 supports the sharing of COM ports using a
command line switch.  See your HA5 3.0 manual for details.

Sorry to have left you all hanging.  I only know that the 1542C has
been announced and that it will have support for disks > 1GB built in.

I called Adaptec a couple of weeks ago to check on a PROM upgrade for
my board, and the tech support person mentioned the new one.  It was
announced in INFO WORLD about three weeks ago, and mentioned in
comp.periphs.scsi around the same time.  I wasn't in the market for a
new controller, so didn't register what's different about it.

My guess is that aside from the PROMS, it might use new chips (to
reduce production costs) and maybe have some on-board buffering.  But,
aside from that, there's not much that one could add to the 1542B.

That depends on performance, basically.

The busmastering may help an awful lot.  If you haven't got LocalBus
or EISA (and most people don't), it could be a screamer on the AT bus.

It is also a fully extensible standard.  That's difficult to sell,
granted, but you never know.

Another nice feature is the uniform, standard support for custom
refresh rates in all modes.

I really need stacker on my D: drive because I have quite a few application

If any OS/2 gurus have any suggestions besides getting a bigger hard drive and getting rid of
stacker, I would very very much like to hear them.

Actually, this stuff is documented on-line.  Double-click on the
``Master Help Index'' icon.  Look for the topic ``operators, redirecting
input and output'' (located in the "O" section) and double-click.
Then you will see the command operators (like >, 2>1, &&, etc)
as well as many examples.

There is a *lot* of information located in the ``Master Help Index''.

First off, a word from a long-term user of pc's but a novice at OS/2:
I LOVE IT!.....
Now, when I double click on the os/2 system icon, the icon view pops up
but it is empty.  Empty until I realized that the icons are there but
hiding up ``above'' the window screen.  Clicking on the arrow on the
right side of the icon view scrolls them back down again into place.
this hppens in a lot of my window icon views (e.g. also in command
prompts.) What am I doing wrong?

Second question, with all of the current mania for windoze, will os/2
get any attention?  Can we as users hurry this process?

I just wasted NZ$20 by calling the Creative labs BBS. There, I found the usual

Don't bother. These are identical drivers to the 17/9/92 .zip file.

BJ..I know I can write one .cmd file and take all arguments, but I don't want to

Yes, get 4OS2 by JP software. It (like 4DOS) has two special batch files
called 4START and 4EXIT which are run on (guess what) starting and
exiting from a shell. Within 4START I have the following;

                 IF "%_PTYPE" == "AVIO" C:\OS2\MODE CO80,43

Which basically make 4OS2 run in 43 line mode if it's being started up in
an OS/2 window. Try it - you'll never go back to crappy old CMD.EXE
afterwards.

Nope, we are talking about the Trident board. Trident has written many

800x600x256 can fit in 512kb. 800x600x256 drivers for 512kb cards will
probably roll out later. This is beta stuff, after all.

(In the past Trident drivers for 800x600x256 were faster with 1024kb, and
the 512kb drivers were slower. I think Trident is doing some nifty 
things with the video memory bank addressing)

I have tried every thing I can think of.....and the SB refuses to work with
MMPM/2 in the beta.
 
Ummmm....just thought of something else.....Maybe if I install the M-Audio
support and substitute the SB driver.....?
 
Proably not....but that is the level of farting around that I am reduced to...
 
Anyone got this working?

Make sure you have Release 2.0h (or later) of the OS/2 FAQ List.  It
includes some extra advice for installation of video drivers with the
Service Pak.
