	I was quoted $699.00 for the entry version before 12/31 and $945.00 after.
Of course, these prices were probably in Canadian dollars, so U.S. customers
can probably subtract about 30% :). In case you were interested, I was also
quoted $355.00 for the upgrade from 2.0 before 12/31, and $385.00 after. I
requested some glossies about LS 3.0, but in the interim, can anyone give me
the low down on features/enhancements/etc...

     I was wondering if anybody has heard of 'SilverNet'.  It's
supposed to be a program which is good for different OS's (OS/2
being one of them).  I am looking at this for a simple peer-to-peer
network, since I can't find anything else which will work.  If
anybody else has any other suggestions, I'd be happy to listen.

Actually, we got an upgrade price from 2.0 to 3.0 of $180, which I think for
academic institutions.  The new copy price for US Universities is $477.

Subject: My IPX/IP coexistance is getting closer, any more hints? LONG
Organization: Clemson University
Date: Tue, 29 Dec 1992 17:43:33 GMT

I've been plagued of late with trying to get my 3c503 board to use an
external 10baseT transceiver and get Netware Requester and TCP/IP to
talk over the same line at the same time.

After much searching, digging and pleading, I peered through the
3c503.sys driver file, and noticed the string CONNECTOR DIX.  Since this
near the strings matching other Link Driver settings (mem, int,
protocol, etc.) I guessed, tried it in my Link Driver list in NET.CFG
and it worked.  This parameter is not documented in any of my
documentation.

I've had Requester running by itself for quite some time now, so I moved
on to getting TCP/IP installed and running (by itself, i.e. I commented
out all Netware stuff in my CONFIG.SYS file and startup.cmd).  This took
awhile, but I seem to be able to ping places, telnet, ftp to and from my
machine, use vt220.exe, etc.

So, now to try to acheive IPX/IP coexistence.  I followed the directions
in the Novell Netware Requester for OS/2 v2.0 book in chapter 6 for
getting coexistence.  After finding a few errors in the documentation
and pulling a few hairs, I've got ODINSUP seemingly binding to my 3c503
driver, TCP/IP seems to be configured, and ping finds the various hosts,
while slist finds all available netware servers.  The problem:  while I
can apparently determine what machines are reachable, I can't access any
of them in any way.

Try to ftp or vt220 to a machine, and these programs wait until they
timeout or I kill them.  Try to login to or attach to a Netware server,
and the server returns an "unknown error (0001)".  Anyone gotten such a
configuration to work?  I'd appreciate knowing how -- config.sys,
protocol.ini and net.cfg file would be most useful (and any other files
you diddled with to make this all work).

Hope some net.guru can help me out here.  And thanks for the hints
that've gotten me this far.

Earlier this year, our company was looking at a network with roughly the
same requirements you stated.  We purchased Lan Server 2.0 and have been
running fairly successfully on with both DOS and OS/2 requestors.  Due to
hardware constraints, we have to use the server to run applications (like
WP, ACAD, etc).  I am pleased to report that it is remarkably stable, due
to the robustness of OS/2.  I was even developing software using BCC 3.0 for
a few weeks and only brought the net down once (not really due to BC either).
For the cost ($800 for the entry level package), we are very pleased.  There
are some quirks that we haven't ironed out yet, but I think they arise from
bugs in the GA code, not the server itself.  I expect the released of 2.1 of
OS/2 will further stabilize things.  It's also really nice to run tape
backup software while the net is still in use (using Sytos Plus for OS/2)
as well as modem host programs, etc.

By the way, has Lan Server 3.0 been released?? If so, how much is the upgrade
and what features does it add.  We have the Basic version.  (no HPFS386)

Is anyone else using the new NETX.EXE version 3.31?

Here is my problem, once starting up a DOS Session and running
NETX.EXE (w/o logging into the network) I am no longer able to
print or copy files to devices such as lpt1, lpt2, ...

After logging into the network, if I run Paradox 4.0 and then
shell out, copy a file to lpt1, and return, Paradox bombs out
stating that the PDOXUSRS.NET file has disappeared even though
the file server still lists it as being open.

It appears that NETX.exe 3.31 is playing games with the file
handles.  

Anyone else experience this problem, or is using version 3.31
successfully?

Organization: Techn. University of Berlin, Germany

Hi,

in my new project I need to have both protocols, IPX/SPX and TCP/IP, on one
OS/2 machine with one network adapter (16-bit SMC). At the moment I am
running OS/2 1.32. I will update to OS/2 2.1x later. The TCP/IP product I
am using is IBM TCP/IP 1.21 for OS/2 1.32 and later.

IPX/SPX is needed to connect to a Netware 3.1 server for both file access
and access to an Oracle DBMS running on the Netware server.

TCP/IP will be used for an RPC-based application and to import/export
NFS file systems.

I heard about ODI drivers for OS/2. Is that what I need or are there any
better multi-protocol solutions ?

The same problem will arise for DOS/Windows clients at a later stage of the
project. Is there a similar solution ?


Thanks for any info, Ernst.

Thanks to a lot of help, my Apple LaserWriter IINTX is working great
from OS/2 and Dos machines on our Lan Server Network.  To help others
avoid HOURS of piddlin' around, here's the receipe

1)  Install the IINTX on the server via COM1 and create similar prn object.
2)  Create an alias for the printer in Lan Requester and direct to LPT2 
      (for example) 
3)  Have a mode line in the server's startup.cmd "mode com1 9600,8,N,1, 
      TO=ON"
4)  Open the printer object on the server and right mouse button over
      the com1 icon on the OUTPUT page.  Select settings and make sure
      handshaking is OFF (This is what killed me).  I also bumped the 
      timeout to 59, but I'm not sure if this is essential.

By doing this I'm able to print Word Perfect's printer.tst from any
     machine, and print documents of at least 12 pages (as far as I've
     tested).

Thanks to all who helped!!

DEC's PATHWORKS does run in a DOS image. WIN-OS/2 also runs in a DOS
image, so there's a chance that PATHWORKS for Windows runs in WIN-OS/2

I have also had trouble mounting a CD rom drive.  I pretty sure I'm not
doing anything wrong or have the wrong drivers, config.sys, etc. because
sometimes it mounts and sometimes it does not.  Here is what I get when

Also, are the RPC "programming tools" available in the PDK?  I have

I hesitate to dump it to disk (I'm getting so lazy...btw why can't all
the CD software be installed from CD or diskettes?) because I don't know
how many (or how long) this will take.  I did click on the info button
but it didN'T (oops) tell me anything exciting.

I had promised to post some info about the serial-line NDIS drivers when I
got them working.   Well, here it is!
 
This package (NBR11I.ZIP on hobbes) provides 2 things: an NDIS MAC-layer 
driver which talks over a serial line, and an NDIS Protocol-layer bridge 
function driver which can bridge network frames between 2 MAC interfaces.
 
It was written by Micheal Reid.   There are versions for DOS and OS/2.
There are also 386-specific and non-386 versions.   All are in the same
zip file.
 
You can use this software in 2 configurations:  to connect 2 machines
together with modems or a null-modem cable, and run NDIS software between
them.   The drivers can appear as either Ethernet or Token-Ring drivers.
More interestingly (to me anyway), you can set up, say, your system at
work which has a LAN connection to act as a bridge.   This looks to the
LAN like a real bridge.   Then you can dial into this system from, say,
your home machine, and run it as if you're connected to the LAN.
 
I've been exchanging EMail with Mike for the last several weeks trying
to get a bridge configuration running on a Token-Ring LAN using Comm
Manager.   I finally got a working connection on Thursday by moving the
bridge machine to the same Ring as the devices I was trying to communicate
with (i.e. 3174 gateway and IP router).   My 3270 sessions and IBM TCP/IP
ran over the modem just fine (although no *quite* as fast as the real TR :-)
 
Apparently there is some sort of source routing problem with the software,
but I have every confidence that Mike will be able to solve it.   He is
very knowledgable in networking.   He has used the package for IBM Lan
Server and MS Lan Manager.   I may be one of the first to use it with
Comm Mgr, not sure.   Anyway, this software has alot of promise for 
those who want LAN connectivity from home, but can't get our employers
to run the LAN 15 miles to our house :-)   I'll post more info as
progress is made on solving the source routing problem.
