after a fair amount of rtfm, i am stumped. is the ibm implementation
of tcp/ip really so braindead as to have no provision for doing
something like

local_programme | rcmd machine -l user remote_command

the rsh command for os2 is a joke compared to the unix version. is
this inherent in os2 or is it the result of a poor implementation?

why is there no rcp command in os2 tcp/ip? is this impossible because
of os2 design or because of a poor implementation?

what i want to do

local archive -> tcp/ip interface -> remote tape drive

this is trivial on unix and xenix. is there any good reason it
appears to be a non-trivial operation with os2?

related question.  have i missed something, or does ckermit for
os2 fail to include tcp/ip?  even msdos kermit has this and it
works reasonably well.

The problem occurs to everyone who uses [B]NETX to connect to the file
server.  As soon as the shell is loaded devices appear to disappear 
and subsequent printing to a device screws up the table of file handles.

The problem is in GA and the SP.  It occurs with all shells from 3.1x to
3.31.  

IBM knows about the problem.  It is being handled by the Novell Netware
group.  Hopefully there will be some solutions soon.  Or at least before
2.1 is released.

I have not tested it will the 2.1 beta to see if the problem still exists.

Could someone?

It's still on; NetWare 4.0 Server will apparently run atop either
Novell's offering (probably a Unix derivative of some sort) or OS/2
2.x.  The relative timing of these two versions is still up in the
air.  In any event, Novell Server atop OS/2 2.x has been demonstrated
for quite some time at the trade shows.

Yes, both Basic and Advanced (HPFS386) versions of LAN Server 3.0 are
now available.  LS 3.0 adds several features, notably some
peer-to-peer support.

As they say, "Contact your IBM representative" for details on

(promotional price) from IBM Direct (800-IBM-2-YOU).

Anyone else have trouble with the Novell Requester 2.01 NSD?  If so,
does Novell know about it?  It wouldn't let me attach to a server, so
I backed out of it.  I tried it because the latest CSDs for IBM's
TCP/IP, together with the original requester and ODINSUP.SYS,
prevent me from doing a full shutdown (annoying because none of my

By all means get the CSDs from Hobbes, or make sure that your supplier
is getting you a "refreshed" version, especially if you are using NFS.
The stock 1.2.1 NFS kit doesn't allow you to access NFS mounted
volumes from the WPS.  NFS volumes work OK from the command line,
though (Dos VDM and OS/2).

There are still some bugs in the NFS version though.  I just got the latest
CSD and installed it, so I don't know which ones persist.

Does anybody else have this problem:
I installed OS/2 Lan Server 3.0 from IBM, and also installed the
OS/2 remote IPL support (RIPL). After loading OS/2 to the drive
(with RIPLINST) and using GETRPL afterwards, one should have a first
working default. Especially, the installer should generate a default
RPL.MAP file, which contains some server and requester records.
The trouble is, this file is completely goofed up on my system, and,
even worse, I am not able to manually generate one (Lan Server always
complains about some errors in the file). Furhermore, there should
be generated some network aliases (calles RIPLFILES or something
like this), which are also not here. I had exactly the same problems
with Lan Server 2.0 earlier. So, WHAT AM I DOING WRONG???
Some more problems: The installer doesn't generate a PATH statement for
/IBMLAN/NETPROGS, and the manual never mentions to do so manually. 
So, the STARTUP.CMD fails to do "NET START SRV"...
I am using: OS/2 2.0 US with US Service Pack, LAN Server 3.0 US,

This is absolutely not true! I can run xhello.exe from my RS/6000 on
my PC. I don't know why everyone is so confused on this subject. Let's
say I want to run xhello.exe on the PC's CPU from the PC (on the PC's
video screen). This is easy enough to do (go ahead and try it). The
program sends X-requests to PMX which causes the program to be displayed.
Why is this any easier than just sending those requests over the net?

Now, are there any questions? :)

I could never get the Novell Requestor 2.01 NSD to work.  It wouldn't
even find my file server on an OS/2 2.0 GA system with no TCP/IP
software installed.  Since I tried it I have gone back to the GA of
the Novell Requestor and began using FTP's PC/TCP with almost no

Does the Novell update fix anything "deadly" or is it a minor

 The technical issue behind all of this is that the Shutdown action sends
 2 FS_SHUTDOWN messages to all file systems.  Each remote file system might 
 have to perform some network action as a result of this SHUTDOWN message.
 This action can take some time.  If a network action hangs or fails
 and the IFS is not especially friendly about error recovery; this might
 cause the symptoms described above.

 As a aside; you don't need to select Shutdown to cleanly shut down your
 machine; Ctl-Alt_Del sends the same 2 FS+SHUTDOWN messages.

I am currently running happily using GA OS/2 2.0 with the last (I think)
