need to do in order to start using POST?  I'm sure this Server is pretty much
like all the other Web Servers out there (ie. Apache) so if someone else is
using a different Server, can you tell me what you did to get POSTing to work
for yourself?  Inside the HTTPD.CNF file, it asks for an excutible for
POSTing.  Where can I find this executable?
Thanks in advance for any help I may receive,

The addition of the above seems to have cured a small problem with mirc about

work if you pushed button quickly enough...
The second thing to check is that you have correctly put the dns numbers

"echo %etc%" and use the path returned - or check what CONFIG.SYS sets

 Leslie Satenstein hastily said to Charles Bowman:
I'm with you on the InJoy... I *NEVER* got the fool thing to work here...
even after following various people's advice... With 5 account ID's being
used here, I've found the DOIP to be more useful because of the ease of
setup...
I'm also giving the new Advantis dialler a try (since I am in ibm.net).  It
also allows multiple profiles, as well as enabling use of either SLIP or
PPP...
As for SIO, it allows me to lock my com ports at 115200, rather than the
57600 that COM.SYS maxes out on.  I got roundly slagged for commenting on
that here a while back, but now that I have a second machine, it's been quite
nice transfer stuff back and forth via a null-modem cable (on COM2) between
the two machines at the higher speed.  (And yes, it is noticeably faster..).
There are other advantages to SIO as well, but since I don't tend to play
with communications stuff, I haven't really exercised them...

myself, but I understand it did solve a lot of this type of problem...  (I
guess if you know what's coming, you can accommodate it in your script).  You
might find it on a your nearby OS/2 supportive BBS, or if you can somehow get
to the internet, on Gary Hamer's "Must-have Utilities" site, or possibly on

1. At times, when I dial my ISP, right after the CONNECT, I get a bunch of
garbage charaters.  In-Joy will sit there for a while, then close the
commport.  Unfortunately, this is not good since In-Joy is running automated.
 So, I need In-Joy to either re-dial, or exit.  In-Joy does redial if it gets
a busy, or no answer.  Any suggestions?
