Write your reply.

assistant: Hi All,
I picked up the latest PMMail (1.9) from southsoft and it appears to have
some support for PGP, but apparently only for an OS/2 port. (?)
I looked at the MIT PGP site, and didn't find an OS/2 version, although I did
get the source but was unsuccessful trying to compile it for OS/2.
Does anyone have any more information on this?
Take care,

Has anyone seen a version of the above available which accepts /long/

It seems that when creating FTP objects, passwords over a certain length (12

want an email address as a password...
Alternatively, an OS/2 port of WS_FTP would be nice. :)

assistant: Hi there!
What I'd like to have is a textmode email program. I've tried MR/2 Ice
and it works okay but is slow on my laptop. Besides, I really prefer
textmode apps. Anyone know of one I can use?
I set up the pppdial.cmd program with a response file to log me on to my
ISP and it worked fine but at the end, when I had it load up MR/2 Ice,
MR/2 gave me an error, something about not being able to find the client
or something. Same thing happened when I tried loading Netscape/2; it
couldn't find the homepage, something about DNS not found or such. What
can I do to fix that?
I still want to use a textmode app but fixing the above might help me to
understand what's going on and allow me to configure the textmode app
when I find it.
Thanks!

04-Feb-97 17:50:18, Quoting Barry Adams's message to Vincent Danen
    topic of discussion was.. Re: Pine !
Did you ever find what was causing the "SIGSEGV" error message?
I'm running PINE 3.95 OS/2 version.. using two different POP/3 servers
and was able.. (in the beginning).. to access my INBOX on both accts. and
read/post to my newsgroups. PINE then started closing my INBOX with the
message saying there was an access error.. it would after a period of time..
kick me out of pine. Now it happens immediately upon start-up.. if I'm
connected to my ISP.. the following is the message error:
"Process Terminated by SIGSEGV"
"SYS1808: The Process has stopped. The Software diagnostic code -
(exception code) is 0005"
Please let me know if you, or anyone else out there, has any ideas or
suggestions on what is causing this.. and how can it be solved.
FYI.. I'm using Warp version-# 3.00 (Red Spine) - latest PPP/IAK -
no FixPacks - "IDENT" is running -  my sys: 486dx2/66 -
Thanks..!

Write your reply.

assistant: I have a network connection to the internet and I also use the DOIP.
 This was all working fine in Warp 3 but when I went to Warp 4 I
started having problems.
In my login script for the dialer, the last couple of lines do the
following:
'ifconfig sl0' os2_address gateway 'netmask 255.255.0.0'
'route add default' gateway '1'
This fails with a message indicating that a route already exists.
If I change it to:
'ifconfig sl0' os2_address gateway 'netmask 255.255.0.0'
'route -f add default' gateway '1'
      ^^^
It works fine but, I can no longer use my network connection because
it has erased my routing tables (is there a way to display your
current routing tables?).  Isn't there a way for these to co-exist?
I have tried to toggle the 'Primary Inteface' check box in the
dialer settings with no success.
Any TCP/IP experts want to take a crack at this?
TIA,
-Todd
