Write your reply.

assistant: The IBM Proprinter X24E is the *only* printer that the BonusPak version of
FaxWorks can emulate.  LPT3 is probably due to the fact that the first two
printer ports are in use on that system.

assistant: In a message of 08-09-1996, JASON HUGHES wrote re: Netscape
Which version of NetScape are you planning to use?  The 16-bit
v2.02 works fine.  Just make sure virtual tcp/ip support for
DOS/Windows is enabled with the following lines in your OS/2
CONFIG.SYS:
RUN=f:\tcpip\bin\cntrl.exe
RUN=f:\tcpip\bin\vdosctl.exe
DEVICE=f:\tcpip\bin\vdostcp.vdd
DEVICE=f:\tcpip\bin\vdostcp.sys
Your AUTOEXEC.BAT for the NetScape session needs to have your
\tcpip\dos\bin directory early in the PATH statement so the OS/2
WINSOCK.DLL gets loaded instead of the Windows one and the "ETC"
environment variable has to point to your \tcpip\dos\etc
directory, which must contain a copy of your RESOLV file.
I've heard some of the Win32s versions of NetScape can be gotten
to work but I haven't tried myself yet.

assistant: Word,
Jason, I use Fax Works Pro on a daily basis, and regularly fax
documents from Lotus Word Pro (Win 3.1 version).  From within the
Print Manager of Windows, I have the HP Laserjet III driver assigned to
LPT3. If you use the "Lite" version from the Bonus Pak, use are stuck
with the IBM Proprinter X24E driver.  If you do not have your printer
driver setup  for LPT3, you must do so.  READ THE DOCUMENTATION!!!!! Use
Printer  Setup (on the menu bar of Print Manager, select Options, or you
can use the  Printer Icon in Control Panel) to do this.  Once the Print
Manager is set up,  you simply click on Print from within your word
processor, click on Setup  (or whatever your word processor uses), and
select LPT3.  Wait a few seconds while Fax Works is started, and your on
your way.
By the way, Fax Works Pro is the upgrade for Fax Works Lite (from the
Bonus Pak), however, the setup is the same.  Fax Works Pro has many
features not included with the lite version, including OCR.  It's a
GREAT program, and well worth the upgrade price.  Go for it.  I
believe upgrade details are in the Help documentation.
Good luck, Sandy

OS/2. Someone told me that the native MS win32s was working up to
version 1.15. I have the impression that you have copied the OS/2

Hi Jason,
It has to be an IBM Proprinter X24E on LPT3 because this is the only
emulation that the Faxworks Lite program included with OS/2 has.  When
you go into the Faxworks configuration, the X24E is the only option
offered.  If you upgrade to the full version, then you get PCL
capability as well.  I just don't use a FAX program enough to justify
the additional expense, although the OCR capablility might be nice.

it must, I know it uses Protected Mode, I think that involves 386s...not sure
though...  But in any case, you may be kinda screwed over there...although, I
have just realized, it *may* be possible to use one of those "386-to-486" or

Write your reply.

assistant: You probably won't be able to get it running under Warp...  Try
dualbooting back to DOS and running it, if you still have DOS on your system.
 Even if you can run it it'll probably be way too slow... I have found that a
lot of DOS programs will not run under OS/2 if they make use of the sound
card...so also try disabling the sound...if that works then you know what the
problem is...  (it'll still be slow though, and you should not run aDOS game
in a window unless it's text-based...)
