    After following the discussions about NTS/2, I have a question.  Does 
this only work with token ring?  (it seems that anyone who has talked about 
it is running token... and only token)

Netware Lite works fine under OS/2. It needs to be run in a RAW DOS session,
i.e. you need to boot DOS under OS/2.

Yes - I have the same problem - I reinstall novell requestor to get that 
option back -  Also, try to set the winos2 setting so that netware resources 
is GLOBAL, then run winos2, go in control panel and define your printer to a 
netware queue - I'm unable to do that.  I've tried everything & it just 
doesn't work.  I forwarded this problem to COMPUSERVE but so far ... nothing

Yes, we are running LM 2.1 on a 3S500 server, but not with a Exabyte tape
drive.

The only thing, I am not happy with, is the printer queue control.

Is there a solid way to detect Communications Manager (CM) from a PM
application that must be built as a 16-bit application; i.e., with MS
C6.0, other than parsing CONFIG.SYS to detect CM's directories, or
checking each drive to detect the directories themselves?

I have a method now, but it cannot take into account someone's renaming
the directories created during the CM installation.

Replies may be sent directly to me at cmn@ftp.com, or posted here.

Thanks.

I found the UN32131 Base CSD as you suggested.  PMX still hangs as soon
as I start an xterm, but now it doesn't crash the system ... an
improvement?  I had to kill PMX before other net communications would
work.  I ran netstat while PMX was hung and was reporting a growing
number of packet timeouts, a clue perhaps?

I also discovered that vt220 is broken.  It gets confussed about whether
or not it should be in intensified mode or not.  Fortunately, vt100 still
works.

I haven't tried NFS yet.

Well I doubt that there is any such thing as trouble free when 3Com is 
involved but we have quite a few 3Com 400's and 600's running 2.1. We have 
had a few problem with the Exabyte though mainly with restores it trashes 
most of the data. So restores are the only problem we've had, if you are 
having similar problems let me know.

 I have one PC setup as server/client with NWLITE 1.1, under pure DOS.
I have a 386 with OS/2- 2.1b that I would like to have access to the
network disk on the DOS machine, like I could under MSDOS on the 386.
In a pinch I would be willing to settle for access in a single DOS window,
but it would be nicer to have the network disk just appear as a extra
drive on the 386 under OS/2. I have the Nov. 92-PDK CDROM. I tried
installing the requestor on that. The installation went smoothly, but
in the end, it could not find a server on the network.
Thanks for any help.

Will OS/2's NFS ever be as fast as Lan Requester?   Or is there much more

There was no claim made as to a 10X speed increase -- the claim was
a 10X QUALITY increase to the code.  Yes, there should be a real
speed increase due to the tuning and conversion to 32-bit (especially
with DDCS/2, the host gateway product), but as far as I know IBM
hasn't placed any number on that speediness.

I just installed the newest available TCP/IP CSD over the 2.1beta.  Suddenly printing to a

uninformatively, "protocol screwup."  This had been working before
applying the CSD, and going back to LPRMON.EXE from the 2274-level CSD fixed
things up again.   Has anyone else seen this bug or is it something weird here?

I think that the manuals say to make an HPFS386 boot disk

I've done this in LAN Manager 2.0 before.  I just started over from

I noticed this problem in the previous CSD with TELNET. I switched back to 
the last version that did work and everything was fine. It's a shame, too, 
because the newer ones seem to display faster. Anyway, I got this latest CSD 
and noticed that TELNET and VT220 are still broken. Sigh.

I hadn't noticed the Ctrl-C problem--I don't use Emacs--but you might take a 
look that the "local character" setting (hit Ctrl-] and then type "help.") 
there may be a solution somewhere in there.

Will Lan Server 3.0 let a diskless workstation boot of the the server?

The *.boo docs that came with the Nov. PDK kindof skirted this issue.
Any help will be appreciated

What number are you calling?? We have purchased 2 copies from IBM and have
no problems (with the purchasing - there are some bugs)

It seems like if the immediate sales person has no idea, you should ask for a
supervisor (and continue up the line until you either get an answer, or a
promise of a call-back along with a usable phone number and name YOU can use to
re-call the person).
