assistant: Hello Rein,
Replying to a message of Rein De Jong to ALL:
I believe that TME Netfinity has its own CPU monitor that runs at a higher
priority than the stock cpu monitor (Pulse).  Essentially a CPU monitor
'uses' all available CPU cycles not used by other programs and 'measures' it.
 This is why your 'CPU Meter' shows 100%.  You normally do not use more than
one type of CPU monitor at the same time.

I have never used it in PnP mode as my motherboard isn't compatible with PnP.
Strange as the Win95 machine uses it fine with generic NE2000 drivers and the
one that comes with the card.

Write your reply.

assistant: I also use Coax.  When I first set it up, all looked okay.
I even ran the 3Com DOS diagnostics for the card.  It
checked out the cable and the cards as beeing fine.  If you
haven't done this I'd recommend that you do.  Or if you
have, did the 3Com diags show a proper xmit/recv count?
Anyhow, after putting the cases back on and tilting the
computers back upright, the cable didn't work.  Took me a
WHILE to figure out that my previously good cable was now
bad. :-( Turned out to be that the end connectors I had
installed myself on the ends of the cable were shorting out
between the center conductor and some strands of shield
wire.  After repairing that, all was well.  I used an
ohmmeter to determine that problem and fix it.
As for the laptop, this sounds to me like the driver can't
find the network card.  I don't know how PCMIA (sp) cards
work.  But it sounds like an address or an IRQ conflict.  I
had to change the default addresses and IRQ's on my 3Com
cards to avoid conflict before mine worked.

says, "Mode is unable to set the readback function for the diskette". And
didn't install any networking programs at all :( So now I don't even have my

did the re-install in jumper mode on the lan card so that obviously isn't the

assistant: I had the peer-to-peer system running under Warp Connect.  When I
upgraded to Warp4 I installed the peer-to-peer along with the TCPIP for
the internet.  So it was installed under the basic installation.  To
add peer-to-peer to your system open OS2System > System Setup >
Install/Remove > Selective Install for Networking.  This is from page
72 of "Up and Running OS2 Warp Version 4."  For some reason these icons
are available on my system.  However, after you install the networking
you will find the icons I mentioned in whatever the install program
names the folder.
If you need more help after you get the networking installed let me
know.  The peer-to-peer is a great way to use limited resources for

I've been experimenting with trying to get Lynx to run as a door from my
DOS BBS without any success.
I've tried Os2you and doorway.  I've been using os2exec or run.exe
to start the program from the dos vdm. However, I still can't see the
activity from the bbs. Has anyone had success in doing this? There are
instructions in the os2you manual for doing this from Maximus.  However,
I don't run a Maximus BBS.  I run a DOS Wildcat BBS for the time being.
I've successfully run teldor from Wildcat using os2exec.  That's an os2
telnet door program.  But can't get lynx to work.  I also have a
dos version of Lynx called Bobcat.  This DOS version looks more
like the original lynx than DOSlynx.  No pull down menus or any
thing.  However, that version needs a packet driver to run from DOS.
Haven't had any success with that one either.
Any suggestions would be most appreciated.
Thanx
