[second of the discussion of OS/2 being to powerful erased]

Well, I would have to agree that its a pain in the ass to get setup; however,
once its there, its just as easy as windows or system x.  Its rather 
ironic that OS/2 has been touted as being as powerful as Unix (multitasking,
good use of 32-bit machines) and now seems to be getting a similar rap
as being a pain in the ass.  Who knows... perhaps the Unix wienies are
correct: if you're going to use something that takes some brains to operate,
ya might as well use something that alot of people with brains are
already using.

On a lighter note, this is only version *2*.  It might not be the wonder
system that IBM claims it to be (didn't they say something about a monkey
being able to use it?), but it can only get better.

I have a Gateway 2000 486/33 and a Telepath fax modem, also from Gateway

WIN OS2 everytime. Then Mr. Vaskelis suggested getting the new commga.zip

(which no comm.drv I don't know). That helped. No longer did WIN OS2
fail every time. But now, 98% of the time the WINFAX Pro says "initializing
modem" and hangs (other comm programs can find the modem); the other
2% it sends the fax and says "data sent to fax" but doesn't complete the
operation. Please help a desparate person. PS: Neither PMFAX nor FAXPM

What I did was drag a new folder off the templates and drop the shredder
into it.  Then I used a nifty recycle icon (the three arrows making a
triangle) you see everywhere nowadays as the folder's icon and renamed
it "Recycle".  When I want to delete anything, I just drag it onto the
recycle icon and the file gets moved into the folder just like the Mac
trashcan.

Emptying the trash is a little more work than the Mac, you have to select
all the files and drop them on the shredder.  I prefer it though because
I can shred the useless stuff while keeping the stuff that has a chance
of being needed later.  With the Mac, you can only empty the trashcan
deleting everything in there at once unless you open it up, drag some
stuff out, empty the trash, and drag the stuff back in.

>Is there any way to do peer-to-peer networking with OS/2?

Certainly.  The "official" method is to use IBM TCP/IP 1.2.1 for OS/2.
The base package is priced at $130 (academic), which second and
subsequent copies costing less.  The base package provides telnet,
ftp, print sharing, mail, and much more.  (For disk sharing you need
the NFS option.)

See the TCP/IP announcement letter located on ftp-os2.nmsu.edu in
directory /pub/os2/all/info.

LAN Server 3.0 will introduce peer-to-peer networking as well.  LS 3.0
is slated for release by year end.  For a beta copy call the IBM
Developer Assistance Program Office at 407-982-6408.  They will send
you, upon request, the PDK CD-ROM.  This CD-ROM contains LS 3.0 beta,
TCP/IP, and much more, all for a rock bottom price.

On the freeware side there's KA9Q/NOS for OS/2.  See the FAQ List for
details.

Artisoft is working on an OS/2 version of LANtastic.  Contact Artisoft
to see if you can enroll in their beta program and/or to check on the
status of that project.

TCP/IP is provided by vendors other than IBM, notably FTP Software.
Again, see the FAQ List for details.

Hi,

I would like to setup a simple "network" of two PC's connected by a
null modem cable. They both run OS/2 2.0 and have 16650AFN UARTs. What
I am looking for is some software which would allow disk sharing
between the two computers.

As I understand, one can do this with IBM TCP/IP + SLIP+ NFS (is that
true ?)  but it seems kind of overkill to me. It's also pretty
expensive (for a home budget at least). I don't need anything fancy,
speed is not critical in this application. Even DOS software is OK as
long as it works in DOS box under OS/2 and can see HPFS volumes (I can
live with 8.3 filename restriction).

Shareware would be ideal... Any suggestions would be greatly
appreciated!

If I get responses by e-mail I will post a summary. Otherwise please
post here.

Thanks,

I don't see why they wouldn't be compatible. The 9 chippers have 8
regular chips and a parity chip - the MAC's don't pay attention to
parity chips and thus ignore it.  I know it works, I did it and my MAc

But isn't this where the anti-trust stuff comes in?  IBM ships Windows
on some of its hardware because its beneficial to one part of the
business but it probably would be considered harmful [Oh boy a new
slogan: 'Windows considered harmful' :-) ] to other parts of IBM.

In the same vein, what applications one part of a company develops
should be independent of the Operating Systems group if we do not have
an attempt to monopolize the software industry.

Actually, some of the things you are talking about are more intuitive in WPS
than in the Windows.  A prime example is your first example, using the right
mouse button to move an object.  I will admit, I'm a little biased on its side
because I used Geoworks before OS/2(I also had some experience with Windows,
which never suited me too well), and there you use many of the same rules on
working(i.e. right mouse button moves, double click with LMB activates).  And
Geoworks is VERY easy to learn, so moving to OS/2 was easy for me.  I find
this intuitive because throughout the interface, I can simply know that, in
general:
       LMB single click selects, double click activates.
       RMB single click gives menu, drag moves.
That is the primary basis of the WPS.  And with PM programs, you don't really
need anything else(you don't have all the attributes to deal with).  Can't get
much easier.
And I find the RMB for moves much nicer, too.  I have no idea how many times
I've tried double clicking in Windows only to have my mouse move a fraction of
an inch in there and instead of launching the application, the program icon is
moved a few pixels over.  That just gets plain frustrating.
Sure, WPS isn't perfect.  Nothing ever will be, as everybody has his or her
own way of doing things.  But to say that Windows is more intuitive for the
user... I would have to heartily disagree.

I was never able to get QL2FAX running under OS/2 I bought BitFax in
