I have 2 questions about IBM Lan Server 3.0.
 1) Is there an upgrade from Lan Server 2.0 advanced?
 2) Is there support for Ungermann-Bass adapters with the
    DOS Lan Requester?

I know of no PPP software ported to OS/2. I asked Morningstar, a P-to-P
developer for many unix machines, about their intentions for porting to 
OS/2 or NT. The said they had no plans to support OS/2 because of lack of
interest. They also said that they are considering to port to NT. I 
think that if enough people bugged them they might consider the port to 
OS/2. Their email address is marketing@morningstar.com or Voice (614) 451-1883.
Their Unix ports are of excellent quality and their support is also excellent.
I couldn't think of anybody else better to make this product.

 Now on the other hand an IBM employee has stated that they understand the 
need for PPP under OS/2, but he couldn't say any more. Reading into this I
would say that IBM is working on PPP but I wish a time frame would be given
because I would like to plan this into out network strategy. PPP for OS/2
would take many people from DOS on their home machines and move them to OS/2.

Oh Well, I can only kermit into work. One session, one download....Sigh!

                                         Waiting for PPP,

And, I believe, as a convenience you can set up another requester
immediately and put in the order for the license card simultaneously.
There is no software-imposed limit on the number of clients; this is
licensing on the honor system.  (Please don't abuse it.)

I believe there is also a tiered pricing strategy at several plateaus;
you should be able to purchase LS 3.0 with 50 client licenses for less
than the cost of LS 3.0 with 50 separate, individually purchased
client licenses, for example.

Note also that LS 3.0 (either version, I believe) supports up to about
1000 users (up to 250 per network card in the server; up to four
network cards in the server).

Subject: What is ODINSUP?
Organization: National Library of Medicine
Date: Mon, 4 Jan 93 19:29:49 GMT

I've been following this newsgroup for awhile and have read Dean Pentcheff's
Guide to OS/2 Networking.  He does not get into IPX and TCP/IP together.
It seems ODINSUP is the answer, but what is it?  Perhaps it's obvious I have
not tried using IBM's OS/2 TCP/IP stuff (ie is it explained in that
documentation?)  If so, that's all I need to know.  I am running the
Novell OS/2 Requestor with fixes.

As a related aside, I want to run a DOS program using IPX and either a DOS
or preferably OS/2 terminal emulation program concurrently.  I need the
emulation to be for a VT320 terminal.  The emulation program could use either
IPX or TCP/IP I guess, which is where this ODINSUP stuff comes in?  Suggestions
or help greatly appreciated.  I heard that IBM's "Network Transport Services"
will help with the TCP/IP+IPX problem.  Still, I'd like to know about ODINSUP
Further, I would like recommendations on IBM or third party terminal emulation
packages which will use either TCP/IP or IPX (maybe even some other protocol
if that makes sense).  I was just looking at KERMIT.  I guess I could use
that in a DOS session, having KERMIT use TCP/IP, also using IBM's OS/2 TCP/IP
to make this possible?

thanks for any pointers to more info etc

Now, to answer the original question. No, you probably can't do it, at
least not without doing some programming. Desqview/X does this by converting
MS-Windows requests into X-requests and sending them over the net to
another X server. For MS-Windows programs this is said to be painfully
_slow_ under DV/X (this is not to put DV/X down, I believe it would be
slow regardless). I don't generally think you would want to do this
but if you really do you can now get DV/X (complete with networkings, but
not the ethernet card of course) for $200.

Followups to Comp.os.desqview

Note: I think OS/2 is better, but DV/X is great if you need what it does.

I could have sworn that I saved some posts about people that have
successfully configured their OS/2 2.0 workstations to use IBM's
TCP/IP and Novell's requester at the same time, but I can't seem to
find any in my personal archives.  Thus, this post.

In particular, I've already got IBM's TCP/IP installed on my machine
(an IBM PS/2 with an IBM Ethernet card) and need to also install the
Novell NetWare Workstation Kit to talk to one of our Novell servers.

The rub is that while I have an NDIS driver for the IBM Ethernet card,
I can't seem to find a Novell ODI driver for the card.

So what I'm interested in is if people either (a) know where I can
find a Novell driver for the IBM PS/2 Ethernet card and then run
Novell and IBM's TCP/IP over it, or (b) know how I can run the Novell
NetWare kit over the NDIS driver that I have for IBM TCP/IP.

Any help would be appreciated.  If possible, direct replies to me at
db3l@ans.net would be great.

Thanks.

*sigh*, and here I thought that I had it all worked out.  I'm buying a

I run ppp under a windows session?  But then why not just get Desqview/X?

Not quite.. SLIP is the older SERIAL protocol for point to point TCP/IP
Now commonly replaced by PPP (But not yet via IBMs TCP/IP offering)

Well, these are two items that have kept me somewhat stumped, I hope
someone can help me out.

1) I have configured OS2's printer/spooler to use the generic PSCRIPT
driver and to write the output thereof to a file.  This works fine. 
What I want to do is setup my DOS apps ie WordPerfect, Quattro, etc etc
to print to a particular LPT port, lets say #2, and OS2 which will be
monitoring the ports will automatically intercept the output and reroute
to a file, also asking for a target file name.  Can this be done?  In
other words, can OS2 act like NOVELL and intercept particular ports?

2) I read somewhere on this board that there was a util to RESET a
tokenring card as if it were done by a system reboot.  Can anyone tell
me where to find it?  So far my searches have revealed nothing.  HELP!!!

Thanks for all insights and contributions.

With me everything works except that cmdtool does not give up keyboard and

Worked right away for me; no major problems.

IBM TCP/IP certainly was not a mature product when it was released, but it 
matures fast (see new CSDs every month), and some components are quite good.
I have not had major problems with ftp or NFS recently, and the mail program
with built-in spelling checker is very useful. Even the news reader is
finally working, even though posting and replying is not very easy yet (this 
is in the work, the developer says).  The most troublesome
part of TCPIP was X-Windows that in the past locked, grabbed keybords, lost
focus permanently, caused system freezes. The latest version (BB02052)
seems to be stable, at last.

I think this is a little optimistic. I wound up getting help from our IBM rep,
as the straight install didn't work. I could now probably do it in an hour or
2, but only because I've now read ALL of the readme files, and have done it
before. The install _program_ does not complete the job, and you need to move
some files around by hand. (as in the TCP/IP drivers.)

  Lan Server 3.0 Entry and Advanced are the same when it comes to licencing.  You buy
the Server and get all the software (diskettes) but only licence for the server 
(Entry or Advanced).  The you buy requestor licences, or what IBM calls distributed

Back when the next release of Netware was being called 3.2, I saw several
refrences in trade rags to Novell using OS/2 as the base OS for their next
generation server. The idea was that the Netware server would be running
OS/2, but still be a dedicated Novell server; it wouldn't be a Lan Man 
server or available for user programs (other than NLMs or the equivalent;
). 
However, since they renamed the product Netware 4.0, I have seen no such 
refrences. I have been wondering if this just means the rags have lost
interest, or have Novell moved away from OS/2 (and presumeably sticking 
with their own server OS). Anybody have any hard data on this?

I have been trying to install a 3270 (SDLC) comm manager workstation.
The same PC has previously been used as an IRMA MS-DOS workstation.
OS/2 2.0 (the earliest GA version) is installed. ES 1.0 (again the
earliest GA version) installs, but when started with the automatic
start 3270 option, fails when it attempts to execute the SLDC vdd
(the error is something about not being able to execute the driver)
in CONFIG.SYS. ES is installed as only comm manager SDLC support.
We have tried installing in various ways over two days.

The configuration is:

ISA 386/40 computer
IDE harddrive <-----------> v32 external modem <--------> Telephone
IBM SLDC board

The error is that the driver is invalid. We are not sure even how to
research this problem. The only idea we have come up with is that there
may be an interrupt conflict (the SDLC board used the default COM1:
interrupt).

I would appreciate any insight you would have. This seems too
common a scenario not to have been tested.

	Thanks,

I have had most success with my 3c505 card on our Novell 3.11 LAN using the

I tried the 2.01, but it had trouble keeping my mappings......I was too busy
