I have gotten from hobbes lately (not yet installed) --

	os2/2.0/patches/nfscsd.zip		-- level 2205 nfs
	os2/2.0/patches/tcp2274.zip		-- level 2274 base

I also have seen (and am in the process of getting) --

	os2/2.0/patches/pmx02205.zip		-- level 2205 x-windows
	os2/2.0/patches/x25csd.zip		-- level 2252 x.25

I have seen reference on the net to "csd29511" as another tcp/ip patch
of some sort, but haven't tracked it down.

It doesn't necessarily follow that if you want TCP/IP patches that you
have a working TCP/IP system with internet connectivity.
For example, TCP/IP and NFS are one way to do peer-peer local area networking.

In my case, I only have ftp access via ftpmail -- painfully slow.

I have it working, but I am only using the Beta NTS/2, not the GA version.      
We should be getting our GA versions when we get our LAN Server 3.0.            
I have used the IBMTOKEN packet driver (or shim?) successfully with             
CUTCP.  The packet driver _MUST_ be written to 802.2, as the IBMTOKEN           
driver is.  It must be 802.2 because that is what NTS/2 virtualizes, along      
with NETBIOS also.

Yes, it means you can't do that.

However, what it also means is that you don't have to.  In other
words, go ahead and pass the socket handle to your child process.
Then just forget about it in the parent.  Let the child close the
socket when it is done with it.  The parent can just go on and
continue to create other sockets.

There are some interesting quirks in the global nature of sockets.
One is that you have to be careful if you are handing sockets to
processes that aren't you're children.  If you die, the process
cleanup will close that socket since you originally created it.  With
direct children, that's not a problem as they will die too - but if
you handed that socket to a process that isn't your child, it will
suddenly find it closed.

On the other hand - if you hand the socket to a child, who then
proceeds to die without closing it, that socket will stay open until
you exit or you close it (since you are the one that created it).  So
in this case, if you will be running for a while, it's probably a
smart idea to track your children, and try closing any sockets you
gave them when they exit, just to be safe.

The global sockets have advantages and disadvantages.  It would
probably have been nicer if they worked semantically just like file
handles, but that wasn't possible in the first releases of IBM's
TCP/IP (as its kernel was in user space).  I've often wondering how
well it would work to handle sockets with an IFS driver though, so
they were actually file handles.  The socket calls would create and
access files in the \DEV\TCPIP tree or something (the IFS would be
device IFS (\dev), rather than installing a new disk letter), and they
would work just like file handles (ala Unix).

I asked IBM Defect Support (USA) about this several months ago when I
first received IBM's TCP/IP 1.2.  They said it wasn't supported.

The alternative is to execute the command on your Unix host where the
tape drive is local -- but reference the file system on your OS/2 machine.
You can do what you wanted to do in the first place, just not as
conveniently.  Once you get that worked out, make it a script, then invoke
it via rsh from the OS2 machine...  Kind of Rube-Goldbergish, but it
should work.

Organization: University of Kaiserslautern, Germany
Date: Fri, 20 Nov 1992 08:08:38 GMT

Hi!

I'am using PMNOS on my OS/2 at home to connect to the university via SLIP.
Most of the features work fine (thanks to those releasing this softare as PD).
There remain some questions:

1. The command 'mail' does not work as it is described in the manual (i.e. it
   does not start the mailer). May be this is because the PM version of the
   NOS system. The environment variable is set correctly.
   Can anybody confirm this?
2. In telnet sessions I can't get rid of the echo:
   If I don't change the echo parameter (I think this identical to set this
   parameter to 'will echo') every character is echoed locally and by the
   host. Therefore the line messes up completely.
   Setting the echo parameter of NOS to 'refuse' each line is echoed locally
   character by character and as a complete line after pressing carriage
   return.
   I want each character echoed by the host and nothing by the local telnet
   session. Is there anything left to do?
3. Has anybody tried to implement an X server on the basis of PMNOS or
   more precisely on the packet driver below NOS (KAQ90).

Thanks in advance

Joachim

I currently run OS/2 on a 1024x768 Tseng system at home.  I would like to

How about local bus video?  Is this available for accelerated cards such

I am waiting on literature about XGA-2, but am interested in currently 
supported cards.  The 1280 resolution is a must, and will be running
on a 17" monitor (any suggestions for a monitor?).  I have seen some
1280 Tseng cards, but they all seem to run at very slow interlaced refresh

Subject: URGENT help needed: NW Requestor RPRINTER & OS/2

I am trying to set up HP LaserJet II and III printers on two
OS/2 NetWare-attached workstations.  I am using the RPRINTER
program supplied with the requestor to set up network printing.

RPRINTER works OK until someone logs in to the workstation and
tries to CAPTURE the printer port--at that point no one on the network
can print jobs to the remote printer, and if they try a continuously
growing spoolfile starts bouncing back and forth between the local
(attached) printer queue and the network queue.

I assume that the CAPTURE command is wresting control of LPT1 away
from RPRINTER, and therefore a spooling loop of sorts is generated.

With our old 2.15 network, we used the LANSPOOL VAP and were able
to attach printers to workstations that would continue to work even
if the user of the workstation subsequently did a CAPTURE to a network
queue.

Can anyone explain to me how we can accomplish this with NW 3.11, OS/2
requester RPRINTER, and OS/2 2.0?

Bill Rubin remarked a few days (or was it weeks?) ago that IBM is looking at
providing a PM version of a NewsReader with the TCP/IP product and is trying
to get it out on software.watson.ibm.com.

A non-PM newsreader is available in the \TCPIP\SAMPLES\RN directory. It has 
some big limitations (64K max article size amongst others), but it will work.
Try that one for a while, but keep your eyes open on software.watson.ibm.com.

	Is anyone out there testing IBM's Lan Server 3.0 ?
More specifically, has anyone succeeded with DOS Lan Requester/DOS 5/Win 3.1 ?
I've been trying, and windows usually hangs with the DLR `beep'

I've modified my DOSLAN.INI correctly, and run WINSETUP (Which made the
required changes successfully)

The hang usually occurs when switching or starting new applications.
(I justy have icons that point to batch jobs that do the NET USEs after
checking if a drive is free - via an IF EXIST statement - nothing spectacular)

Any suggestions ?

I haven't found a way to require passwords from anonymous FTP, but I do
log the FTP traffic on my machine.  In your TCPSTART.CMD file, change
   start inetd 
to
   start /min inetd >> d:\usr\tcpip\inetd.log
This has two effects; first, the session is started as an icon rather
than a window session (can be done for all but NFSSTART), and all console
output goes to the inetd.log file.  This gives attempts and logins for
FTP.  Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to log TELNET sessions.  So, I
modified the logunix.exe program to do that for me.  Does the password
check and logs the user name/password into a log file.  Someone brighter
might be able to write one that grabbed the TCP/IP address as well.
