Thanks Robert, unfortunately you didn't answer my question. I know full
well that FAT filenames are stored in upper case. The NFS servers I have
previously seen convert them to all lower case for consumption of the client.
This way the filenames appear in the natural case of the client machine.
At present all my filenames on the server are in upper case and get mangled
when using DOS-Merge to view them.

Hello there!

Please help!!! I have been trying to install tcp/ip package from IBM
on a 486/33 - 16MB computer connected to  Novell server running 3.11. The
Ethernet card is SMC's ELITE16 series card and it goes togather with
some drivers for os/2 (*.sys and *.os2). With Netware stuff it works
fine with the server accessing all servers drives and services. In
this case I use *.sys driver. When I installed the TCP/IP stuff with
the *.os2 driver, I gained access to the Internet but Neteware drivers
would not work. I tried to intall both *.sys and *.os2 drivers for the
Ethernet card and it did well til the time I tried to run TCPSTART.CMD.
At this point I had to push the Rest button....

Under DOS everything is just fine, so I think there must be a way to make
it working under os/2 as well. How do I do it? Any help will be appreciated.

  It's the "OS/2 Professional Developer's Kit".   A CD-<disk> which contains
  beta versions of lots of IBM's OS/2 software and lots of manuals for 
  products.   They are available to members of IBM's OS/2 Developer
  Assistance Program (or DAP).   They recently opened the DAP to shareware
  developers, too, so if you're a programmer, I'd encourage you to apply.
  The CD's at $15, and have an expiration date of a few months.   Once a
  product goes live, you have to stop using it (and buy the real one).

Hi there.
My OS/2 hangs up when I load NETX in VDM high and exit from VDM or

Seq. to hang OS/2 up.
	1. Open VDM in full screen
	2. Load NETX high using lh command.
	   (You have to installed NetWare Requester for OS/2 and Virtual
	   IPX driver for DOS Box).
	3. type `exit' command on command prompt.
	4. Now, your OS/2 will hang up.

My system configuration is following.
	1. NE2000 compatible card
	2. 386/33 with 64K cache, 8M memory.
	3. 80M conner IDE type HDD
	4. NetWare 3.11 on Server.
	5. NetWare Requester for OS/2 2.0(NSD 201) with some older files from
	   prerelease version of NetWare Requester for OS/2 2.0.
	6. Secondary monochrome monitor.
	7. NETX version 3.26 or NETX version 3.22 from NetWare Requester for OS/2A
	8. 4DOS 4.01 installed as a DOS shell.
	9. 4OS2 1.0 installed as a OS/2 shell.

If you know why my OS/2 hangs up, please tell me the cause or the solution for
it.

  I don't believe that NTS/2 provides the NDIS interface to the DOS
  boxes.   What it does provide is 802.2.   My understanding is that
  NDIS defines the interface between the MAC and protocol layers,
  while 802.2 is at the protocol layer:
 
 
                ________________    << NTS/2 provides interface here >>
               |                | 
               |     802.2      |     Protocol Layer
               |________________|   
       NDIS --> ________________    << DIS_PKT wants to talk here >>
               |                |
               | 802.3 or 802.5 |     MAC Layer
               |________________|
                ________________

               |  Network Card  |     Physical Layer
               |________________|
  So, what I'm saying is I think you're outta luck unless your apps can
  use 802.2 or Netbios.   I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong.

Subject: Lan Server + Apple LaserWriter IINTX
Date: 21 Dec 92 18:08:18 GMT
Organization: University of Virginia

Has anyone successfully installed an AppleLaserWriter IINTX postscript
printer on a Lan Server network.

Initially, I created a net printer which, on the server, pointed to COM1
(the printer is serial).  I could get the server and requesters to
print to the queue successfully from Word Perfect 5.1 if they were
printing small documents.  Only 2 pages would print for larger documents.
The server can print anything successfully if pointed directly to COM1
(but this ties up the printer and jams the queue for all requesters).

I've played with printbuftime etc, as IBM thinks this is a timing problem;
but no luck.  I've considered turning the printer into a sharable serial
device and have clients write directly to COM1, but we have several Dos
Lan Requester machines on line, and IBM tells me this is not possible for
them.

Any help here would be greatly appreciated!

If the DOS application speaks 802.2, you'll want Network Transport
Services/2 from IBM, a $55 add-on that provides virtual 802.2 support.
See your friendly IBM representative for details, as they say.

It worked for me. I do always use network cards which are not
supported by LAPS, LAN Server, PathWorks or whatever. I have used
3C507 cards until now and have tested a 3C509 already. Both cards only
needed copying the matching NDIS driver to the directory where the
supported ones are (ELNK16.OS2 for the 3C507 and ELNK3.OS2 for the
3C509) and editing PROTOCOL.INI. Make sure you

a) add the [<driver>] section i.e. the [ELNK3] section or what you
   call it and add the contents of the ELNK3.INI which comes on the
   floppy next to ELNK3.OS2.

b) change all Bindings= settings to point to the new driver.

Nope, it can't, and it is not alone in this regards.  The FAT file system does
NOT support lower case file names.  All lower case names are converted to
upper case before the directory entry is written.  This characteristic of FAT 
is NOT present in HPFS partitions, UNIX lower case names are permitted as are

If I run the capture command from a command line after login all is well. 
Any help would be greatly appreciated (the manuals sure don't provide it).

Don't expect that to change.  Unlike other platforms, a TP under OS/2 is not
necessarily a simple process.  The Attach Manager is more flexible. I guess
that since PIP data is pretty much like command line parameters, there is no
really good fit in all cases under OS/2.  It would be nice to have PIP data
in some cases, but no dice.  Couldn't you send what would have been PIP data
at the beginning of the conversation?

(BTW, beware sending PIP data from OS/2 to RS/6000 SNA.  I never got it to
work, with the invariable result that the RS would hard crash (888 on LED). 
I don't think IBM fixed that one.)
