PATHWORKS for OS/2 is a big problem.  Version 2.0B has just been
released that allows you to get the client version working provided
you already have Lan Server 2.0. This is an unsatisfactory situation
that is basically caused by the rift between Microsoft and IBM.  As
long as Lan Manager does not fully support OS/2 2.0 PATHWORKS will not
either.  Since DEC is *very* pally with Microsoft these days it seems
unlikely there will be proper support from DEC for OS/2 in the near
future.

As for working with TCP/IP you have two choices: use DEC's own TCP/IP
extensions (3COM code they bought and which is hopeless) or get it
working with IBM's or some other NDIS-based IP suite.  The latter should
not be too difficult.

If there is an investment in DEC equipment and protocols at the site
I hate to say it but you should also be looking at what Windows NT
will be offering (but then again, that is at least 6 months off...).

Organization: University of Illinois at Urbana
Date: Wed, 16 Dec 1992 16:39:05 GMT

Some time ago I posted a message of trouble with printing from 
Word Perfect for Windows  under WINOS2 to LPT2 that was redirected to 
an Apple Laser writer via LPRMON.
The solution came from IBM UK, where a person suggested to set WPfW
to print to file called LPT2.OS2 and disable the WINOS2 print manager.
The reason other solutions did not work was that the print manager in 
Windows 3.0 stuffs ^D at the beginning and end of the print file, fooling
some Postscript printers like the one I used.

Thanks to all who contributed.

All encrypted passwords created by a passwd that originated from Unix are
the same.  They follow the same basic encryption algorithm and the same
storage of the salt key with the encrypted password.  This is why
programs such as Crack for the Unix boxes can function.  If people really
want, I can find my copy of passwd that works on my OS/2 machine and
make it anonymous ftp'able as well as submitting it to comp.binaries.os2.  

See ya...

We used to experience an occasional crash when shutting down lan server
1.35 on a model 95, so I wrote a little C program that shuts the server
down gracefully before we shut down the actual OS/2.  It first enumerates
open files and closes them, then deletes sessions, then stops server,
then stops requester...  It seems to be OK under 2.0.  We should be
getting LAN server 3.0 'soon'.

I'm having some problems trying to get the NFS client to mount a

The NFS, and LAPS packages are from the oct. DAP CD, and the base 
tcp/ip package has the latest CSD applied to it.  The machine is a

The problem is the I can mount the file system, at least the mount program
says it was successfully mounted, but when I try to access the drive,
I get a error message. 
There are two Network command not supported error messages and one
message 95 not found in file ????.msg -- I forget the files name but it is
present.  Then the nfsc program crashes and has to get terminated, it
executes an illegal instruction or something.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to reduce the search space for this

Anyone know what wrong ?

3: Given Mokrosog's track record, I wouldn't buy anything from them. It's

One option to consider is IBM's TCP/IP networking package.  If you
buy the TCP/IP Base and the NFS addon, you'd be able to share files
and printers over Ethernet.  As far as boards go, the IBM package
supports a pretty wide range of boards (in fact, any board for which
an NDIS driver exists).  They supply NDIS drivers for the following
boards:
	IBM PC Network II and Baseband Adapters
	IBM PC Network II/A and Baseband/A Adapters
	IBM PS/2 Adapter for Ethernet Networks
	IBM Token-Ring Network Adapters
	IBM Token-Ring Busmaster Server Adapter
	Ungermann-Bass NIUpc Adapters
	Ungermann-Bass NIUps Adapters
	Western Digital EtherCard PLUS AT Adapters
	Western Digital EtherCard PLUS Microchannel Adapters
	3Com 3C503 EtherLink II Adapter
	3Com 3C503 EtherLink/MC Adapter

The manufacturer of other boards may supply an NDIS driver.  

We quite happily use the very cheap and ubiquitous 3Com 3C503 cards.

For more details on pricing and installing this software, see the
article entitled "Guide to getting started with OS/2 networking using
IBM's TCP/IP software", or fetch the file from:
	ftp-os2.nmsu.edu:/pub/os2/2.0/network/tcpstart.txt

Has anyone has a way of virualize the NDIS driver to the VDM? Or is there
a NDIS driver that can run in VDM that can interface to the 802.2 interface?
Or is there any other solution?

The short answer is that the OS/2 2.0 redirector (actually probably an
installable file system) is for LanMan 2.1.  It is my understanding that
it doesn't work with LanMan 2.0.  Beta OS/2 2.0 drivers are available
via anonymous ftp from "lanman.gatech.edu" but they may not do you much
good.  And if you have LanMan 2.1 then you can upgrade to 2.1a which 
includes the final drivers for no charge.

You can run as many LPRMON processes as you like (well... OK, within
limits).  Each LPRMON process handles one port.  For example, on one
of our machines we fire off two LPRMON processes to redirect both
LPT1 and LPT2.  The lines in our "startup.cmd" file are:

	start lprmon -b -php3ps -sfiddler lpt1
	start lprmon -b -pbinary -stbone  lpt2

LPT1 is shunted off to a laser printer on machine "fiddler" (another
OS/2 machine) and LPT2 is shunted off to a dot matrix printer on a Unix
box.

At any time, you can kill off an LPRMON process and fire off another
one.  So, if I wanted to, I could stop the LPT1 process and re-redirect
the port to some other printer.

Try Telnet-Enhancer. You can get it from hobbes (ftp-os2.nmsu.edu). I think

I think it may be a DOS box product under OS/2, but I can't be sure
