Write your reply.

assistant: Replace 8080 with whatever port you're running ICS on (default is 80, 8080 is
good for proxies). The trailing slash is REQUIRED for webexp (but not for
Netscape).

Shouldn't be a default in the gate machine unless you know the destination
address of the router on the other end of your dialup and want to hardwire it
for some reason. SLIP/PPP will automagically put a defaultroute in your table
temporarily while you're online.

You can configure ICS to behave differently when queried from different
addresses. If you're only using it as a proxy, not as a "full" web server,
take out all the Pass lines except
Pass http:*
Pass ftp:*
Pass wais:*
Pass gopher:*
Pass shttp:*
Pass https:*
and set it up so that it will only proxy for requests from within your local
net. (I would tell you exactly how, but I can't remember, except that it IS
documented in httpd.cnf, let me know if you can't find it).

assistant: Wanted:    OS/2 technicians willing to relocate to Dallas, Texas.
    I know somebody in Dallas, Texas whose company is in need of half a
dozen or so OS/2 Technicians.  Requirements are a positive attitude, a
go-get-em approach to problem solving and a good understanding of the
inner workings of OS/2, DB2/2 and REXX.  No "official" certifications or
degrees  are necessary.  These jobs WILL require re-locating to the
Dallas, Texas area.
    Due to the possible Finders Fee that I might receive, I won't give the
company's name in FIDO, but if you are interested, leave me a message
through FIDO (Private NETmail if you give your name and phone number)
and I'll relay your name and number to the company in question.  This
IS a  serious job opportunity for anybody with a decent knowledge of
OS/2.  I think  that time is crucial also so if interested, act ASAP.
Thank You.

assistant: I would assume (Never having done this myself) that the OS/2 TCP/IP would
talk to the NT machine.  You may have to get NFS ($89 or so) to be able to
mount the NT drives.  If the NT is running TCPBEUI (Netbios or TCP/IP) I
would think the OS/2 NETBIOS over TCP/IP should work.  If it is not currently
running it, see if they will enable it...

As you probably know, the LS requestor has a limited peer
function built-in. One limitation is that only one user
can use a resource at a time.
If I were to install Connect or Merlin on these machines,
what added functionality would there be using
the new peer services?
Would the above limitation still apply under Peer?
Also, I've heard that the Peer is a lot slower and
memory-hungry than the 4.0 requestor.
Would Peer's memory requirements be a lot more than the
3.0 requestor?

Write your reply.

assistant: I have an interesting problem for which I would like sujestions:
Two networked machines (peer to peer or client-server ; should not matter).
Machine #1 has a modem and a fax program.
Machine #1 starts with automatic fax reception software.
Machine #2 has no modem.
While using machine #1, I want to start Internet or other communications
programs without first closing the fax program, and having the fax
program automatically re-set itself when the communication program
is finished (or anytime the modem is not actually in use).
While using machine #2, I want to run Internet or other communications
programs.  This means using the modem physically on machine #1, across
the network.
All of this must apply to DOS, Windows, or OS/2 based Internet or other
communications programs, and/or Fax programs.
Is this possible?  What operating system (if other than OS/2 Warp Connect),
what special software is required?  What other considerations must be
made?  Will this work in a network of mixed operating systems (such as
machine #1 with Windows 3.x, and machine #2 with OS/2 Warp Connect.)
Any information is appreciated.  Thanks in advance.
