user: You are replying to All about "OS/2 and TCP/IP".

Write your reply.

assistant: Hi All!
  I have some systems that have some requirements that I am not versed
  enough on to determine what I need to do.  These are the requirements;
  1.  The systems need to be ableto use the existing network which is in
  place and tcp/ip to telnet into a system to get access to a system
  that I am not that familiar with.  I do know that all they need is the
  telnet capability.
  2.  The systems are also going to need to use the same network and
  tcp/ip to do 3270 terminal emulation.  After some looking, the latest
  version of Personal Communications ver 4.2, supports tcp/ip to do 3270
  emulation.
  Now the questions, the customer is currently using Warp 3.0.  Is
  upgrading to Warp 4.0 a requirement?  What do I need to install to get
  Warp to work with tcp/ip as well as being a client on a Novell 4.1
  network?  Warp 4.0 comes with Personal Communications, is it at the
  4.2 level or is the 4.1 to 4.2 a free or pay upgrade.
  If anyone is doing something like this, please contact me at
  chammon@isonline.com.  I would appreciate any information that you can
  give.
Thanks!

My encounters with a proxy server is you must be able to goto the proxy
server defined in your netscape/etc, then goto through the network to the
internet.  What I have seen with In-Joy, you don't have to have a proxy
server defined in your settings, and you only have make the forwarding

the same with Win3.1/DOS and Win95.  I'm running a two

here.  No matter which way either system is booted I can
connect one to the other (NT to OS/2, NT to NT, OS/2 to NT

subdirectories on a shared drive are visible, but the files they contain are
not, unless the whole drive share is deleted and recreated. Is this normal?
