Subject:      OS/2 2.0
X-To:         BANYAN-L@VM1.CC.UAKRON.EDU

    I thought I might as well post this as I've recieved several direct
mailings:

	If you are attempting to run OS/2 2.0 with VINES and are using a
Western Digital WD8013 Elite board, OS/2 will CRASH!  Chunk the WD board, get
a 3Comm Etherlink II-16 board (or something of similar reliablilty) and OS/2
will run fine.
	The Banyan documentation was exceptionally well written for installing
the OS/2 2.0 patch on a VINES 4.11(5) or a VINES 5.00(1) server.  The client
software went without a hitch using the VCLIENT installation program.  This
was not the case with the previous OS/2 1.3 support which I could never get to
run with NDIS!  The OS/2 2.0 support ONLY uses NDIS and will run coexistently
with PC/TCP for OS/2 and IBM's LAN Server (and probably even Novell).  See the
attached files for an example of running VINES and PC/TCP for OS/2.  If you
are running ANYTHING besides VINES, such as PC/TCP, you will have to dittle
with your paths.  DOS apps run reasonably well from VINES drives as long as
your DOS settings for that DOS session are set up correctly.  As far as
Windows apps go, you need a lot of patience to set up a full-screen DOS box
to run a separate 'Windows machine'.   IBM is due to release (hopefully this
month) a 32-bit graphics engine that will allow Windows apps to run directly
in an OS/2 window on the desktop in Super VGA mode.  Hope this helps.
