Hi!

I think the Subject says it.  I was browsing throug Tim's FAQ v2.0f
and found a reference to PM NOS, which should reside on
diskard.uthscsa.edu.  Our University's ftp cannot resolve/find that
address.  Could someone please post it's numeral address, or do I
have a typo in my address ???

Thank you.

Just a happy user testimonial ...

Yesterday I received a request that an urgent email msg be sent to
all individuals with certain characteristics that resided in a
personnel directory on the host ....

I dowloaded the personnel file to OS/2, wrote a few lines of REXX that
extracted people with the right values and then sent them an email msg using
SENDMAIL.  The REXX program was started as a background task and sent out 798
email msgs while I continued to use my PC for production development.

Using OS/2, TCP/IP & SENDMAIL I was able to acomplish what used to be
impossible with it taking less than 10 minutes of my time.

'Lo all,

Apologies if this is a FAQ (don't know if there is one for 
c.o.o.networking) but I'm in need of answers.

First off, I'm going to try to bring up my OS/2 box to hook into my
university's computer system via a SLIP line, but I need something
to run at this end.  I've seen various things being said on this
newsgroup about SLIP, but everyone talks as if they already know
what is going on.  I'm going to be connecting via phone line 
(probably be using a 14.4k modem, not a net card) and don't know
exactly what I need (software, drivers, etc).

Right now I'm running vanilla GA that doesn't have built-in networking.

Could someone either post the FAQ (and/or location) that explains what
is out there for this, or let me know what I need to do to accomplish
my goal.  Specifically I'm looking for software/drivers to run
(hopefully shareware/freeware), and general instructions to make my
life easier.

Anything would be great!

Thanks!

	  I have successfully installed IBM TCP/IP 1.2.1 on my

	  How can I get the utility LOGINUNX.EXE to execute whenever
	  somebody logs into the OS/2 box? I realize ICAT sets a
	  password for remote logins, however it's a single password
	  and anybody and everybody must use this same password (doesn't

	  Whenever I establish a TELNET session, I can run any
	  .CMD file I want, however when it comes to running any
	  executable, the TELNET session locks up and on occasion
	  has brought down OS/2 entirley. Am I using the TELNET session
	  for more than it was made ?


	  Any help on this would be greatly appreciated ....

Hi,

I was running NCSA with the Clarkson SLIP packet driver between my OS/2
PC and a DOS PC.  This seemed to work fine.  I've now added a pair of
clone NE2000 enet boards to the computers.  I loaded the appropriate
packet drivers tweaked NCSA, and now OS/2 crashes when I go to access
the enet board.  The DOS PC side seems to work fine.  I can't ping the
OS/2 machine from the DOS machine, and the OS/2 machine locks up on any
access to the enet board (ping, etc).  Anyone have something similar
working?

I've double checked the hardware setup.

I'm looking for a TCPIP package that will run with both MS Lan Manager
and Novell Netware under OS/2 and (not vital) DOS.  Any additional features
like X or NFS would be nice but not required.  The main requirement is for
rsh and rcp capability (Microsoft's stuff sucks rocks, to be blunt).
Personally, I don't think this is possible but I'd be happy to find myself
wrong.  We're currently running Lan Manager but plan on switching to Novell
in the next month or two so if you know of something that works under Novell
but not Lan Manager, I'd be interested as well.

Thanks,

Jon

The priority of telnet is set very low (2 I believe) which means
just about anything done from the console  has higher priority.
As far as I know, there is no way to permanently change this
priority, the daemon will keep setting it back.

Hi!
	I am new to the world of ethernet, and I just got connected to a
network at my school.  All I know about my ethernet card is that it is made
by Cabletron.
	I have a few questions to ask:

	What is the latest version of the netware requester for OS/2 2.0?  Can
I get it via ftp?

	I downloaded the requester version 1.2.1 or something like that.  But
it asks for a driver.  I don't know which one to choose and how to set it up
for my own IRQs and other such stuff.  All I know is that I use a Packet driver
under dos, before loading IPX.  Any ideas?

	What does IBM's TCP/IP package bring (mail, newsreaders, terminal
emualtors...) ?

	Finally, I tried to connect to the network in a DOS box, using my
usual dos commands.  It works, but it is very slow.  Any idea why?

Thanks for any help!

I guess you are allowwed if it is free accessible on CS. But I guess it will

I agree OS/2 2.0 is great, IBM's support is exemplary.  But, try and 
buy the Novell Requester from IBM (yes, IBM). Not from Novell.  You will
get NO SUPPORT, well ... support if you are willing to fork out
say $150 or so ... before they would consider chatting with you.

I am in this predicament now ... I am looking into returning my
Requester for OS/2 BACK to NOVELL for credit and am now trying to locate
IBM product number for the Novell Requester (Yes, an IBM product number
for Novell Requester).  

I know if I buy it from IBM, IBM will make sure it works. 

If you (like I am) are concerned with Novell's lack of direct
support (or indirect, the dealer I talked with had no idea
that there is a requester for OS/2 ... ) Call Novell (if you
_
can ) and complain.  Who knows, if many "paying" customers
complain, they might listen.  Yes, I am an optimist.

Hello-

There may have been a thread about this some time ago...

I have the Novell Netware Requestor for OS/2 2.0 installed.  On our
server, we have the Cheyenne Arcserve software that allows workstations
to backup their HDs to DAT.  Arcserve uses SPX for data integrity.
When I try to use Arcserve I get a data communication error to effect
that it's unable to contact the workstation.  I'm loading the SPX driver
in my config.sys.  Is Novell's SPX driver brain-dead?

This reminds me, Microsoft is now shipping OS/2 2.0 client support.  It
is available for free in the LAN Manager 2.1A maintenance release, which
is also free to registered uses of LanMan 2.1.  And I'm sure glad they didn't

From: Thomas Permutt <TPERMUTT@UMAB.BITNET>
Date: Friday, 25 Sep 1992 18:59:22 EST
Organization: University of Maryland at Baltimore

We recently installed Netware 3.11 on a server, and, as I expected, many of
the problems I had had with 2.12 went away.  There are still some.  If I drag
a file to a folder representing a directory on a network drive, infinitely
many files are created with names like x1, x2, ... .  It seems as though
Netware first creates the file, and then does the check for an existing file,
resulting in its finding the one it just created, and so trying another name
...
Also, if I call up the System Editor from the Workplace Shell, I am unable
to "Save As" on a network drive.  I can edit and save an existing file, but
not create a new one.  On the other hand, I called up an editor (enhanced, I
think) from an OS/2 session, and "Save as" worked fine.

What is going on?  Do other people have these problems?  If not, what could
possibly be special about my setup?  I have OS/2 2.0 GA and the first shipping
Requester (July).  I have a 3C505 Ethernet card, if that makes any difference.
Is it possible that trying and failing to run under Netware 2.12 has put my
system in a state where it won't run even under 3.11?  I erased and
reinstalled all the Novell stuff; do I have to reinstall OS/2 to exorcise
these ghosts?

And why on earth does Novell refuse to talk to us who are debugging their
software for them?

  You will not be able to write to the screen with printfs if you use a
  detached process. Other than that, you should be able to get the messages
  from the server.

   Yes. Not only IBM's implementation of socket library can be used in a
   multithreaded application, it is also thread-reentrant.

   What's TFTP interface ? The product comes with FTP API interface, not
   TFTP interface. If you are writing your own interface, you can make it
   multithreaded and thread-reentrant. If you mean IBM's FTP API, then it
   is NOT thread-reentrant.

You can anonymous FTP their files at ftp.3com.com.  They do have a BBS,
the 3Com "Cardboard BBS", and I believe the number is available at the
ftp site.  I have it, but I'm not at the computer where the # is right

Has anybody successfuly been able to use the NE2000 driver for Netware Light
under a dos session?  I have tried using the Dos 5.0 image boot, and tried
mapping out parts of my ram, but once I run the NE2000 driver, it's time
to hit the old reset button!! Any ideas?  Or is it just time to sit and wait
for Lantastic for 2.0?
