	Not quite.  ELNKII.OS2 is the driver for the 3Com EtherLink II,
i.e., the 3c503.  This card is completely different from the 3c505 =
EtherLink Plus.  The correct driver is ELNKPL.OS2.  Beware that there
are several versions of this driver floating around and some of them
have serious bugs.  You might want to get all you can find and try them...
(Based on the differing sizes of the ELNKPL.OS2 drivers, I am *guessing*
that some contain replacement code for the on-board cpu and some do not.
In general, I have had better luck with the larger drivers.)

Hi,
    I've been using OS/2 for a while now at home, but I've just installed
it on my PC at work. I am able to create a VDM session with DOS 5.0, load
my IPX and NET5 drivers to get access to the lan, but I would like to have
more than one session like that. Needless to say that if I creat a second
VDM and start both, they crash (and are ??imposible?? to close).
    Anyone know of a way to do this? Is there any OS/2 version of this?

Please Help!!!

P.S. I would prefer replies via e-mail as I do not get access to the news

At our site we got access for OS/2 from Eicon Technologies. It 
installed fine on the OS/2 PC but doesn't seem to get connected 
with the SNA-Gateway running a DOS version of access. 

The error report by access for OS/2 is "NABIOS NOT LOADED". 
Do I have to load a driver for NABIOS ? I couldn't find any

Do I have to run a OS/2 gateway in order to get a connection?

when i migrated to os/2 2.0 i did the same thing.  when i installed
i left a small dos partition as my c drive.  this partition had an
autoexec.bat and config.sys that loaded pcnfs.  then in os/2 i
copied my dos window and set the dos setting "boot drive" to "c".  
when i open this dos box it loads the config.sys and autoexec.bat
with pcnfs.  dont open more than one dos box with pcnfs though or
you will have port conflict problems.

Hi everybody,

I`m desperately looking for a better NewsReader for TCP/IP 1.2.1.
The one that comes with the package is almost unusable.

First of all I can subscribe to a number of newsgroups but I can
read only the first one I'm subscribed to. I get the subject list
fromn the other groups but when I try to read a message it beeps and
just marks the message with a small "1" digit.

So my question: Is there any cure for that or is there a better rn
or perhaps "tin" or something available somewhere. Perhaps someone
already ported the supplied RN to 32-bit ?

Please respond by e-mail.

Thanks and regards from Austria -- Tom Leitner

P.S. TALK has its problems as well. I just tried (while I write this
message) to talk to someone on a different OS/2 machine (i.e. we tried
to talk from OS/2 to OS/2) and succeeded only afted a couple of
attempts. Talking to the Sun is impossible. Any ideas ?

We do our backups by mounting the OS/2 drives on a SCO UNIX machine
and running TAR under UNIX.  We found that we had to reduce the buffer
sizes to 1024 bytes before it would work.  We didn't need to go as low
as 512 bytes.  It's not quick though.  We are hoping to use an OS/2
TAR with IBM TCP/IP's rexec or rsh as a better method for the backups.

I simply have the problem of *slow* NFS; copying a 10M file to a networked
drive took about an hour.  Using ftp to perform the same transfer
takes less than a minute.  The destination system is convex unix.

I've tried adjusting the buffer size to 1k to no avail; has anybody
got any other performance tips?  Does anybody have anything special
running on the unix side?

I've done a similar thing, and sendmail works pretty well for this application.

To send a textfile, you first put an RFC-822 header on it, then send it with:

If you can't get native OS/2 network software, a specific DOS session
almost always does the trick.  See Appendix E of your Installation

On my job we are running LAN Manager 2.1 under OS2 v1.3.
Its a 10 user version and the server is a 386 with 6megs of memory and

It seems do do its job perfectly well, and the server is almost never

Some of my workmates have put the pressure on to upgrade the servers os to
v 2.0 since "it is the latest release...".

I am no version fetishist and would not want to upgrade a perfectly working
os if there are no obvious benefits of doing so. I would quess that a 386
specific version would be a bit speedier but I'm not sure.

So the (stupid?) question is: Are in this case any potential speed or
other benefits from upgrading to 2.0?
