	You should get the Novell Requester for OS/2 2.0.  Call
	1-800-NETWARE or 1-800-UPDATE1.  It costs about $30 for a site
	license.

	It is recommended that you get the latest NDIS drivers for your
	NIC card.  If you plan on using Novell, you will not require the
	NDIS support.  Instead the Requester comes with ODI (this is Novell's
	replacement for NDIS) drivers for some popular NICs (3-Com, NE-3200,
	etc). If your NIC is not included, you can probably get ODI drivers
	from your NIC vendor (Cabletron, WD, etc.)

	Yes, Novell requester and IBM/TCPIP can coreside in the same box.
	The key is to use the ODINSUP shim so that IBM TCP/IP's NDIS calls
	are translated to ODI calls for the MAC level driver.  THE ODINSUP
	driver comes with the Novell Requester.

	Some pitfalls to avoid: a) make sure that the IBM TCP/IP has all
	the latest CSD's applied.  b) make sure that the ODINSUP driver is
	the latest version.  The TCP/IP CSD's are available in Hobbes.
	The latest ODINSUP.SYS is available from Novell on special request.
	Also remember to have at least 8mB memory on your OS/2 system if
	you are going to run the Novell requester and TCP/IP concurrently.

   I was wondering if anyone here operated OS/2 preferably on a TR

connection?  I would like to know what software is necessary to make OS/2 
operate as a bridge to a slip connection, along with what software would 
be necessary to allow someone to establish a telnet connection with an
OS/2 server, and have that connection be a direct connection to a dial

Hi all, I need some self-determined guru of networking and
communications to explain some things to me - I'm just dense when it
comes to this stuff I guess.

Here's the setup - I'm running a 386/33-0 with 20Mb 70ns RAM with 2
200Mb Maxtor HD's. I currently have a 2400 generic Hayes compatible
modem but am in the process of purchasing a 14.4K V32/V32bis/V42/V42bis
modem (likely a Supra). I want to be able to communicate with a SUN
server over the communications port (COM1). Ideally I'd like to have
full ftp/tcpip connectivity (my machine already has it's own node
number in pour local tables [131.232.3.14]). Now this was set up
because I had an Ethernet card (WD8003) and was connected via thin-wire
ethernet on the local system. now I've move my machine home and need to
have the same kind of connectivity over a 14.4K line.

What do I need to do this under OS/2? What's NOS? What's NDIS? What's
PPP? What's SLIP?

HELP!

Hi guys !
I want to use lpd (TCP/IP for OS2 V1.2.1) from a unix lpr-spooling system.
If i send binary files to OS2's lpd the implementation of OS2's
lpd expands every character 012 (octal) to 012 015 and my binary
file is spoiled. I tried to spool the file from a UNIX to UNIX WS
with nearly the same printcap entry and its OK. The bad guy must
be OS2's lpd.
Is there a possibiltiy to prevent this behavior or how can I
force the OS'2 spooling-system to use a filter (012 015 to 012) 
bevor printing the file ?

Yes, friends, I have a problem that someone can solve...

We are trying to get some PS/2's hooked into our AS/400 over a Token-Ring  
Network.  No problem getting the wires hooked up, but we had a fight with  
Communications Manager.

Actually, the configuration that we have works - we can get an emulator session  
running and PC Support too, but the system name isn't right.  This comes from  
the fact that when we set up the configuration, we really didn't have a clue   
what we were doing.  Now the name of our AS/400 is 5250PLU (which is what we  
thought the directions were telling us to put in that particular blank), and  
THAT ISN'T THE RIGHT NAME!!!

So, basically, how can we change this?  

*ALSO*  There is another AS/400 on the network, too, and we want to be able to  
have PC Support work with both of them.  Any hints/suggestions/comments would  
be helpful.

Just rename it to LOGIN.EXE (presumably renaming the old LOGIN.EXE to
something else), and make sure you have a Unix-formatted password file
in (etc)\passwd.   [(etc) is wherever ETC points]

Are these PM executables, or text programs.  You shouldn't have any
problems with any text-based programs, but if you run a PM application, the
windows and stuff will appear on the machine you are telnetted into, but
you won't be able to interact with them.

(Also, you may want AUTOFAIL=YES in your config.sys if you are using the
 machine a bit remotely.  That way, if a hard error occurs, you won't get
 a pop-up on the machine (which you can't interact with over telnet), but
 the program will just get an immediate failure code)

Well, only a day after I complained on the net about the slow delivery times
for the IBM TCP/IP kit, MicroAge called me up and said that they had gotten
the TCP/IP kit that I had ordered in.

The documentation that I have read so far [from an IBM rep, not in the kit]
lists a short list of NDIS devices that are supported, but also says 
	"There are additional NDIS  device adaptors, not listed, that may work
	with TCP/IP Version 1.2."
Now this documentation is obviously out of date [TCP/IP is currently at release
level 1.3], but I wonder if any of the following e-net cards that I happen to
have laying around have NDIS adaptors [and if so, how I can  obtain them]:

	WD8003E

	3C5000

	3C5001

	NE2000 [clone]

	NP622A

Since I kind-of broke my budget getting the TCP/IP kit, I was hoping that I
could get by with one of the above for a while [I realize that most of these
are not particularly high-performance --  right now I just want something that
will work].

If I do have to buy a new thinnet ethernet card, is the 3c503 a reasonable
choice? I see them advertised for about $180 in Computer Shopper, and they 
seem to be fairly well supported --  both OS/2 and ESIX System V R.4 list
them as being supported. Can anyone recommend any other inexpensive 16-bit
thinnet cards with NDIS drivers that have a favorable price:performance ratio?

Of the above, I note that Interactive supports but does not recommend the 
NE2000 and 3C501 for their 3.2 UNIX, and that Everex supports without comment
the 3C503 (Etherlink II) and WD8003 for their 4.0.3 UNIX.

Please reply to me at ...uunet!weyrich!orville or orville%weyrich@uunet.uu.net
and I will summarize to the net. [Post if you  must, but my news feed sometimes
drops news on the floor and steps all over it, so I might not get posts.]

Distribution: world

I get confused by what is available for networking with OS2 2.0.

I am currently using 1.3EE with Novell's Netware Requester and are very happy 
with it. However, it seems that IBM will cease support for 1.3 in the very near
future.

So, I have just get a copy of 2.0. Which make me confused. The question I have
are :

1. Do my 1.3 Netware requester still work ? If not, where can I get the new 
   requester for 2.0(electronically if possible, the local Novell and IBM
   office won't help Joe-blow user) ?

2. What about those NDIS drivers(for LANMAN), do I have to upgrade also ?

3. What about the IBM TCP/IP 1.2.1, Do I need NDIS driver or I can simply
   use the Netware requestor for it(We are basically a Novell site with some
   unix box attached, so Netware requestor is a must)

Could some OS2 gurus give me some light? TIA

You should be able to open as many xterms as you like from a single login
session on your Unix host.  One question I would have is how are you
starting the xterm.  If you don't put it in the background it will both
open the xterm window, as well as keeping your telnet session locked since
it is still running.  Generally, you'd reset your DISPLAY variable, and
then start an xterm as "xterm &" to put it in the background, leaving your
telnet session available for other commands (which can be other xterms).

>Is there a way that I can open an xterm to my OS2 machine using PMX?

Well, if you are running the telnet server, you can telnet to your OS/2
machine, and you can initiate the telnet from within some xterm running
somewhere if you like.  I'm not sure if that answers your question, but
it's an ambiguous question.

>I hope someone can help me.  Right now I see no use for PMX, except that I

Some might say that doing just that is the primary reason for having an
X Server.  What else did you expect it to do?

Same issue as above - if you run an X application, unless you put it
in the background, it will tie up the command session from which you
started it as long as it is running (since it is still active).  This
holds for xterms as well as any normal X application.

You should be able to telnet to a Unix host once from your OS/2
workstation, and then start as many X applications as you would like.
Just remember to put them all in the background when you start them.

'Lo all,

I know I should call IBM on this one, but I can't deal with them anymore;
I always get somebody who knows *NOTHING* about OS/2.

Anyway, I looked up on hobbes for an official announcement explaining
the features of the new TCP/IP CSD 1.2.1 (let alone 1.2!).  Needless
to say, I didn't see anything there.  I'm considering buying it, but I
want to know what it is I'm buying, how much, what it's main features
are, does it support X (or is that seperate), etc...

Again, I have bad luck with IBM, so I'm not going to call until I'm
ready to give them my VISA number... :)

SO, if there are any announcements in circulation, could you put
it up on hobbes (BTW: I checked only the /pub/os2/2.0/info dir)?
If not, and you feel ambitious, could someone post a summary of
its features, stong/weak points, personal experiences, requirements,
y'know, the whole enchalada!

Thanks much!

If you can manage to squeeze the product out of IBM! I finally got someone at
my local IBM field office to give me the prices and part numbers, and direct
me to the proper third-party  that I could order the educational version of the
TCP/IP "kit" [includes NFS, X, RPC etc]. After filling out the paper-work
[I teach at a community college so am entitled to "educational" pricing]
and sending it in and waiting 3 wks ... I get a call from IBM that says that the
item I ordered is not available under the educational discount program to
end users -- if I understood correctly, it would have to be ordered by the
school itself for installation on school equipment.

So I call around, and find another third party that claims that they sell
the TCP/IP kit to joe user on the street, but that it is out of stock and 
they will call me as soon as it comes in. It has been another month, and 
still no product in my hand.

I agree with another poster that had similar difficulty -- if IBM doesn't 
change its marketing channels, OS/2 is doomed to failure.

I think this is a problem with "telnet.exe", but I don't think it occurs
with any of "tn.exe", "vt100.exe" or "vt220.exe".  I'm not sure if telnet.exe
adds anything special (maybe linemode?), but you might try just using one
of the other emulators.

How do you use NOS to get a SLIP or a PPP link?  Where is the
documentation for the OS/2 version of NOS?  I had thought that you needed
a packet driver for NOS, and then you can use it;  I have not seen a PPP
or SLIP packet driver (on ftp-os2, anyway) so either I am wrong about how
to do it, or I am looking in the wrong place for the packet driver.

Thanks,

Hello,
 
I am looking for an OS/2 1.x NDIS driver for a D-Link DE600 Pocket Ethernet
Adapter. Does anyone know if it is available from D-Link or elsewhere? Does
anyone know if D-Link has a support bbs?

Thanks in advance,

Harry Stox.
