Organization: Edmonton Remote Systems #3, Edmonton, AB, Canada

We have been experiencing many problems with Lan
Network Manager 1.0 (the patched version to work
with OS/2 2.0), OS/2 2.0, and Extended Services
1.0.
 
Things were working fine for the first couple of weeks,
but then we starting experiencing errors with our
fibre box and it caused the IBM local bridge connected
to report soft errors.  After the soft errors are
logged the computer will crash with TRAP 000D and
it identifies device driver LSM as the culprit.
 
What CSDs do I need to have a more stable 
Lan Network Manager?

Does this only happen for mail you try to send to yourself, or for
all incoming mail?  Is your inbox directory full?  Do you have the
latest CSD?  (What's the date of your LAMAIL.EXE?)

It sounds more like a Sendmail problem than a LaMail problem...

The 3Com 503 is a completely different card than the 3Com 507.

The 503 (which is available in a 16-bit version, btw), uses the
nat semi 8390 NIC, and the 3Com 507 uses the intel 82586 NIC, 
which is about as different as you can get.

Subject: os/2 server?
Organization: UCLA Cognitive Science Program
Date: Thu, 13 Aug 1992 18:39:13 GMT


I am setting up a file server/gateway system, and am wondering if an
os/2 system would be competitive.  Currently, a Sun SS2 is my primary
candidate.  I've tested a Novell NFS server, and it's performance was
good (400+ NFSops for a 486/33 EISA w/ 1 SCSI, 2 disks and 2
Ethernets), but the Novell s/w costs more than an SS2 server!!!

Given a 486/50 with (all bus master EISA) 2 SCSI controllers and 4
ethernets running os/2, what level of NFS and gateway performance
should I expect?  For security reasons, I'd like to be able to
restrict, say, NFS packets from going to one of the ethernets, while
allowing telnet packets to do so.  Can os/2 do such packet filtering?
If so, then how much impact would this have on the system's NFS
performance?

A different preformance question is how much does system throughput
degrade when an os/2 system is under heavy load.  Similarly, how much
does adding more RAM improve this?

Another consideration is stability.  How stable is os/2?  Will it run
under heavy loads for a week?  a month? (in our environment, a sun
needs to be rebooted monthly)

I have this problem as well, but only when printing postscript from
Win/OS2.  If I use an OS/2 app, like PM Chart, the postscript is fine.
Is there a problem in the Win/OS2 driver?  I haven't tried installing
a "regular" windows 3.0 postscript driver yet.  BTW, I don't have
TCP/IP yet, and always print to a file and then move it up to my Unix
system to print.  Gives me the opportunity to tweak the postscript
code by hand tho :-).

It's OK to get this message. What happens is that you first add a route
with a route command, then when ROUTED starts up it tries to add that
route again because it's specified in ROUTED configuration files.

I'm not sure I understand.  The two aren't related -- a diskless
workstation can run full blown OS/2 through Remote IPL (a LAN Server
feature), including Win-OS/2, DOS sessions, etc.  Or you can run
without those components -- it doesn't have anything to do with
diskless or not.  (Being diskless just means that all the OS/2 files
must be located on the server.)

As for your multiple processor project, you are correct, QNX costs a
fair amount of money.  It all depends on what you want to accomplish.
For example, do you want a "super server" which will farm out tasks to
the least busy processor in the server, automatically?  QNX does well
here.  SCO Unix on a dual processor Compaq SystemPro does this fairly
well, too.  The recently announced multiprocessor version of OS/2 for
IBM/Parallan servers (the PS/2 Model 295), due to ship in October,
also would fit the bill.  Some NCR machines would also work.  The
forthcoming Windows NT is reported to perform this task as well.  And,
of course, you can "roll your own," writing appropriate drivers and
task managers -- if you feel up to it.  :-)

There are a couple important considerations, however.  One is that
there is absolutely no hardware standard for Intel-based systems with
more than one X86 CPU.  Meaning that you'll be buying the software
together with the hardware in one integrated package, and you will
lose flexibility.  The other is that no one has really done a decent
job in this area just yet -- the development isn't all that far along.

Perhaps you can clarify your requirements a little better.  What is it
exactly that you want this server to be doing?  What sort of network
do you envision?  What sort of tasks should it accomplish?

Other MSNet commands work such as locate (get an address from a nameserver)

Is anyone using MSNet under OS/2?  Does OS/2 trap the redirection and
