For the past three days, I've been working at installing OS/2,
configuring my Cabletron card, and connecting to our Novell network.
Here's my report (to those with interest).

I ordered the Novell requester.. when it arrived, I discovered I need
to use the ODI or NDIS drivers.  Since most of my net software relies
on the Clarkson type packet drivers (ncsa telnet, etc), I won't
procede with it (but I will look into the IBM tcpip).  I tried to set
up a DOS window and listed the Cabletron driver (csipd_e) in the DOS
DEVICE choice of the settings menu.  That crashed horribly.  After
trying many other avenues, I finally tried running csipd_e from the
DOS prompt (instead of as device driver)... that worked.  Running ipx
followed by netx, I got to the Novell server!

The disadvantage to this system is that I can only have one DOS window
active that is connected to the server.  But it's better than nothing.

The poster's question (above) is also of interest to me.  I haven't
tried ODI from Cabletron, but may have to if I go with the requester.
Has anyone sucessfully gotten it to work?

It is a problem if you have a COM2 device.  Use IRQ 5 (if it isn't
taken; normally LPT2) or, if you have to, IRQ 2.

Our 3Com cards don't have any hardware switches -- a simple change in
PROTOCOL.INI does the trick, if you are making the change after
installation.

It's not clear to me whether you're executing ftp on OS/2 or ftp-ing
to an OS/2 machine.  I'm assuming you're executing ftp on an OS/2 machine.

I have a small daemon set up to ftp weather images off an internal server.
To do this I put an entry for the server in my \etc\hosts file:
9.xx.y.zzz      server.subdomain.ibm.com        weather
^ipaddr         ^real name                      ^alias

Then in my \etc\netrc file I have:
machine weather login anonymous password mcrweather@costello.mcl.ibm.com macdef
wpics
lcd d:\\pub\\pictures\\weather
cd pub/weather
bin
get current.gif
get wxmap.gif
close
quit
(blank line here)

   Notes: the double backslashes are needed (WAD or not, I don't know) in the
          lcd command
         - this sets up two things:
           - automatic login to the machine called weather
           - a macro called wpics (invoked as $wpics at an ftp prompt)
The command that I execute in my daemon is:
        echo $wpics | ftp weather

Can you set up a netrc like the above or do you have security concerns that
prevent that?

The postscript printer driver for Windows 3.1 has a way around this, but the 
ones for 3.0 (and WinOS2, as far as I know) do not.

The solution that I use is to reconfigure the printer to print to an 
Encapsulated Postscript file (which has no Crtl-D at the beginning).  This 
is buried in the Setup/Options section, but if you persist you can find it.

I don't know of any good solutions if you don't print to a file, though.

I have exactly the same problem: IBM's TCP/IP seems to insist on

This is how I do it also.  You can put your password in the command file
if you want:
    rexec xhost -lmylogin -pmypassword xterm -display mymachine:0 &

Usually I just use the REXEC to kick off a shell script which I've set up in
the Unix account, this saves trouble because the same script can be used if
I'm telnetted into the Unix system.

If your host will accept RSH insteead of REXEC, I believe RSH will read the
login and password from your %ETC%\NETRC file, so you can just do:
    rsh <host> <command>
and it will find the right values from NETRC.  NETRC should look like:
    machine X login Y password Z
with a line for each host you want to include.

hi,

one can "can" ftp jobs by putting the commands in a file. (on unix
one can use a here-document or simply pipe the commands into ftp
using perl, my favorite!)

say i have a file "ftp.dat"

----------------
open host
user paul paul
bin
put file other.file
quit
----------------

then

ftp -n <ftp.dat

automagically executes the FTP for me.



The bummer i am faced with os2 tcpip 1.2.1(refresh) is that he (ftp) seems
to insist on opening the console to acquire the password so i cannot
emded this ftp step inside a larger batch file that runs unattended

You guessed, i am trying to implement a "os2 batch machine" where
a community of HPUX workstations queue os2 command files up and they
get processed on an os2 box and the results returned to the submitee







my "solution" is to

set USER=user
rsh host /path/to/shell.script

where the shell script on the host turns right back around and
does a canned ftp get (my host is HPUX that does allow redirected
input into ftp)



i have two questions.. (only two? i'm sure there will be more)

1) is there a way to have ftp stop the password promting sillyness and
   have it read from the file. (i know about netrc but would prefer not
   to leave passwords in that file -- the current scheme leaves the
   password in clear text only for the duration of the job)

   am i stuck with porting a pub-domain ftp client?

2) rsh seems to peg the PULSE meter. the shell.script i execute does a 
   fair piece of work (you could simulate by having your shell.script
   do a "sleep 20") without making any output.

   all the while the script is doing something, but not sending characters
   back down the rsh socket my os2 gets sluggish... is the RSH in a
   busy-loop waiting for data. i tried rsh -n in case there was overhead
   with respect to polling the keyboard for characters, but that did not
   help either....


3) has anyone ported an rcp client. that would work just as well as
   ftp for this job, as i have allready "ZOO-ED" the results all
   together so its only one binary file that i need to transfer.







thanks for any tips
Paul.

Vic, there is a CSD available for it on hobbes.nmsu.edu. To use the CSD
you must also install a CSD for the base TCP/IP Product.

I had the same problems you had, but after installing the CSD it works
fine. I have nearly the same configuration you have (Token Ring, XGA,

We have been working too long and too hard on the Beholder II.
We completely forgot to tell you what it is all about.    ;-)

Well, the Beholder II is a network monitor compliant with the RMON
'standard'.

For now, it only has 3 additional groups, but in the near future it
will include support for network and host profiling (beyond number of
packets and octets) and support for auto-discovery of network
configuration.

Currently, only Ethernet is supported but TokenRing will be added
soon (FDDI will take longer).

For those who are interested in the availability of the Beholder,
the executables are completely free and most likely the complete
sources will be free too.

Alas, no rewards for those who guessed it right.

the problem to the rewrite rule which "rewrites" the destination address
to include forwarding to a TOP-LEVEL Domain Mailer.  I've been using 
OS/2's editor and as far as I can tell, I don't see any problems with
the line.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks in advance.
