curren

     Not to blame adept, but I wanted to point out that I also run warp 3,
FP26 with no video problems at all with the exact same card and it doesn't
work there either.
    I still haven't heard from Trident Techs so maybe they're working on it.
did mention the Adept/Trident conflict to them as and *everytime* example so
maybe this end of it will be fixed. I will forward you any info that I get
from them.
    Again, I want to say that I'm not beating up on Adept and wouldn't worry
with it if it didn't sound like such a fine BBS.

assistant: what
George, read what it says, it's trying to tell you you have to setup your
tcpip loopback, type the command ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1 from any os/2 cmd line
and it will set your loopback, it further recommends you put this command in
your ATSTART.CMD so you don't forget to set it next time you boot os/2.

assistant: hat
You reading this Frank?? I hope so, this should prove to you that your card
is
broken as far as os/2 VIO support goes. This guys running a 5446 chipset card
and my cirrus fix works on his card. Nuff said.
in
If it's not doing what you want it to do, it's prolly a wise choice to dump
it.
bother
for
Figures, BTW who makes your card ? Cirrus just makes the chipset, the cards
are put together by other companies...
record
Glad to hear that, makes it all worthwhile, the latest incarnation should by
rights be even more stable. Latest version is 1.09.30. Ftp to snoval.com in
the \adept\incoming dir, ad109u30.zip for the upgrade archive, and
ad109f30.zip for the full install.

assistant: Hello Brian!
I switched to OS/2 from Desqview many years ago.  I have been very
happy with the switch.
I run Squish/2 here (the OS/2 version, it cost the same as the
DOS version <g>.)  You might want to check the OS2DOSBBS conf
for info concerning Telegard and D'Bridge.
OS/2 is a wonderful BBS platform...well, it's the best BBS platform
period and it's darn good at other things as well.
I just checked and yes the EGA driver is still included in Warp v4.
You might want to ask a few questions in OS2HW to see if you happen
to have a component of two that might cause problems.
Cheers,
Nicky
