Well, on a not so related note:  I just installed TCP/IP UN32131 and
PMX UN30680.  I changed my focus policy to pointer, but it only works part
time.  If the window with current focus is a PMX window, the focus will
bounce to any other PM/X window.  As soon as focus goes to an OS/2 window,
it requires a click back on a PMX window to reactivate pointer focus mode.
Is this as broken as it seems, or "working as designed" and I just need
to RTFM in some new info file?

Other than that, it is working great.  It is just mighty painful to raise
windows with X running over a SLIP link.  Anybody want to sell a cheap
V.FAST modem? ;-)

I'd take this in stages. First, try to upgrade your Appletalk/Localtalk  
network to Appletalk/twisted-pair (10Base-T) ethernet. (If the cabling is  
inside walls, I'm pretty sure you can use the same cabling, but, of course,  
it needs to run in a star configuration to a 10-Base-T concentrator.) This  
will require new cards in your Intel-based machines and a 10-Base-T  
concentrator, but not much else.

Then you'll have a lot more flexibility both in what you add to the network  
and how you configure it. Lanserver 3.0 running on OS/2, for example,  
supports Appletalk and Mac clients (with an optional package), and, in  
addition to the usual file-sharing stuff, will allow Macs to print on  
PC-connected printers and vice-versa. TCP/IP is another option, since you can  
easily run the stack on both the Macs and the OS/2 PCs.

	I've just installed the OS/2 TCP/IP base system, Network File System,
and Xwindows System Server.  I have a Wyse 370 color terminal and a Relysis
170cp.  Can I connect these to a serial port on my 486 server? If so, how?
	If this is not possible how do I connect another pc to my server?
The manuals from IBM do not discuss any connection outside of Ethernet.
Must I use these or can I connect my 486Server to a 386pc via serial port.
What kind of perfomance can I expect.
	I am trying to put together a small network without the overhead
of Novell or IBM's equivalent.  I can't afford to dedicate a server and
very much like the idea of distributed computing.
	Where does the Xwindow fit into all of this?  I have tried Desqview/X
between to systems and liked it very much except tha it was still Dos.
However, could I connect a PC w/Desqview/X to my Server utilizing the
Xwindow System Server included with the IBM TCP/IP?
	Very much appreciate any help I can get.

Well, the LANMAN 2.1 manual says "to decide which version of OS/2 to install,
consult your network specialist". Over the Xmas holiday me and a friend of mine
tried to install LANMAN 2.1 under IBM OS/2 2.0 since in that case we were the
network specialists. What happened was that when we ran setup from the LANMAN
installation disks, the setup program only gave us the option of installing
the workstation (client) software, not the server. Installation completed
successfully but then the machine crashed during the next reboot so we went
back and used the older MS OS/2 1.3 because we figured that:

1) It _might_ be more stable since LANMAN 2.1 ships with it (the network is
in Greece and we are in the UK so we can't go back there and fix things if
something nasty happens) and

2) The MS OS/2 1.3 only takes up 11 or so Megs of disk space compared to the
20 or so that IBM OS/2 takes up.

We haven't had time to evaluate performance but it seems to be quite fast,
although I'd recommend more than one server for that number of PCs.

After applying the latest CSDs for TCPIP and NFS, we are experiencing data
integrity problems with NFS.  When moving data between two OS/2 machines
with NFS (or an OS/2 machine and a VM host running WLFS/VM) using copy
or xcopy, we get occassional hangs.  When there is no hang, the copied
file is not the same as the original (eg, ZIP or ZOO files fail CRC,
files do not compare with a copy brought over on floppy).  No errors
are reported and DIR commands appear to work correctly.  If you apply
the CSD, be careful with your data.  NFS and TCP/IP at UN32132.

Subject: Using DOS TCP/IP Apps under OS/2 2.x

    Hi,
  We've got got a Token Ring network with 200 computers running either
ms-dos 5.0 or OS/2 2.x with (Dos ) Lan Requester 3.0 and TCP/IP OS/2 1.2.1.
Many people under Dos use CUTCP or Winqvtnet with the Clarckson packet
drivers, and I've found a neat implementation of the POP3 protocol that uses
these packet drivers and Turbo Vision. We would like to generalize the use
of TCP/IP and POP for our mail because we can use our Sun's mailer without
having yet another mail circuit that would only work on the PCs.We've even
found a POP implementation for Mac.
Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be any implementation of the protocol
under OS/2 :(. So I'd like to use temporarily the dos apps. My question
is : Is there any way to get Lan Req 3.0, TCP/IP 1.2.1 and the packet
drivers work together ? I've vaguely read that Lan Req 3.0 can run a certain
number of Dos network apps, but of course these are mainly IBM's software
(those that use netdev.sys for example).
  Can anyone help me by telling me if it is possible or not and, even
better, if there is a POP3 implemetation under OS/2? Thanks.

Hi -
I have some info on OS/2 2.1 beta and Novell Requestor 2.0.  If anyone 
running into the same problem, please let me know if you found a workaround 
for it.
Previous setup:  os/2 2.0 with 32-bit graphic engine CSD and Novell 
Requestor.  I follow the beta instruction and install it over my current 
setup.  Everything went OK.  Afterward, the requestor loaded OK, however I 
no longer see the NETWARE RESOURCES option in the DOS settings.  Netware 
Tools ran fine.

Next Try:  Install the beta to a new hard drive.  Install the requestor.  
This time the netware resources is there.  I go back to the previous 
machine, remove the requestor, reinstall the requestor, netware resources 
option is there.

Another problem:  I login the netware server via netware tools, define drive 
mapping and printers.  I then go to win-os2 setting and change its netware 
resources to GLOBAL.  Run win-os2, run control panel, select printer - I 
cannot setup the network printer (It lists all the netware queues & 
printers), but refuses to connect.  I try this on the new OS/2 setup, the 
ugrade setup but still the same.

I went to an OS/2 2.0 station with the same setup - no problem at all.

  1) On a Token Ring bridge, frames were not forwarded if bridge numbers
     of *real* bridges in the frame's path were non-zero.   We number all
     of our TR bridges (IBM 8209s) as bridge #1 (no parallel bridges).
 
  2) I was getting TRAPs on the client.   One fix reduced the number of
     these, but a new version of NTS/2 LAPS cured the problem.   In
     retrospect, I'm not sure that the fix to the NASYNC driver would
     be necessary.   I'm now running the NTS/2 beta from the 11/92 PDK.
     Previously, I was running a previous beta I got from our IBM rep.
     I suspect the production NTS/2 would work OK, but I can't confirm
     it.

A group of us would very much like to set up our OS/2 2.x (currently 2.0
GA + CSD) machines with MS Lan Manager 2.1a running NetBEUI and TCP/IP.
So far no problem. We also want to use the IBM TCP/IP 1.2.1 ARPA 
services such as X window server, NFS server, FTP, TELNET, etc. That's
the problem. The two don't seem to work together.

Presently, we are running IBM Lan Server 3.0 with IBM TCP/IP 1.2.1. 
Unfortunately, Lan Server doesn't allow to net share with some
of our servers running UNIX TCP/IP. Hence our need for Lan Manager.

To summarize our needs:
a) ARPA services over TCP/IP
b) Lan Manager over TCP/IP
c) Lan Manager over NetBEUI

Questions:
1) Does anyone know how to get IBM TCP/IP ARPA services to 
communicate (i.e. work) with Lan Manager 2.1a?

2) Is there an alternate way or product to buy that would allow us
to achieve our goal?

Thanks in advance for your responses.
E-mail responses also welcome.
