Write your reply.

assistant: Hello Charles,
If I'm not mistaken, 3C503 is made by 3COM and they have OS/2
drivers at their site.
You can use ODI or NDIS drivers by using a convertion program
(ODI2NDIS).
I found that the automatic installation of Novell client in OS/2
V4 buggy, so instead I said no to the automatic installation, and
created the disks from the CD, and used the Novell installation
instead. Somewhere in the installation it offer you to install
another driver from disk a:, and used the one I got from the
internet.
It's possible that the driver you're looking for might be already
included in the Novell installation disks.
I have Novell client running with the following:

assistant: Hello Chris,
See my other message, it may help.
One of the difference between OS/2 and some other OS is that OS/2
reports the error, others ignore them. Also OS/2 is more demanding
on the hardware because of it's multitasking nature, which can
reveal hardware problems.
Sometime you can fix those h/w problem by using more conservative
BIOS settings such as adding wait state, or using write-through
cache (that one fixed one computer I had).
By going to a regular DRAM, you may have revealed a poor support
of SDRAM by the MB.

     I think you are doing things in the wrong sequence.  Do not run In-Joy

when the 95 system runs what ever application needs to call out, it triggers

      o Go to the Network settings in your settings folder.

      o Make the IP address of your Warp station the ONLY entry in your

assistant: We don't use '95 but NT should be the same.
The only thing we do differently is use batch files,
If the In-joy system was 172.22.1.3 on the
NT system we would use:
route add 0.0.0.0 mask 0.0.0.0 172.22.1.3
to stop the NT  using the In-joy system it takes:
route delete 0.0.0.0
We prefer having simple batch files rather than clicking
through several setup menus <G>. The DNS
stays the same, as everything else on the NT system,
the only thing that needs changing from a direct dial up
connection up is adding the 0.0.0.0 route. Although
using the DNS on the local provider is best,
any DNS will do so changing providers doesn't make too
much difference either. It will work if the In-joy
system is connected to a different provider than the
one setup in NT, although it may be a bit slower
looking up addresses. It appears that if the NT
system works calling a provider directly, all
that is needed is adding the new temporary route
through the IN-Joy system. The In-joy system does
all the real work :)

Very much my problem too:)
I still have a Binkleyterm running and that answers the phone, does it's own
thing, or passes off to the BBS, PPP or FAX as needs be. If a caller is PPP
bink starts PPP and does PAP authentication, the user is then welcome to
access the web pages/fileareas etc through a web browser, ftp files or telnet
to the BBS proper through VMODEM. The three dos online games(LORD, PLANETS
and BRE) I have on the BBS all work across telnet.
If you are interested I can collect my cfg's together and crash them to you.
Maybe you or others here could help me with some things I'd like to know!
Like how do I get the user info out of PAP authentication so I can log who
has been on and for how long? At the moment the best I can do in that regard
so far is to use killppp if they exceed 1 hour. Not so hot if you want to
give different access to different users.
