assistant: ache
ctivity.
ystem.
In my OS/2 CONFIG.SYS;  SWAPPATH=F:\ 2048 4096
For dos, use the options for SMARTDRV in the AUTOEXEC.BAT
For WIN3.11, go to MAIN - CONTROL PANEL - 386 ENHANCED
Just a single change, then reboot.
I have 47meg partition on my 3rd drive which is full of files and just
sits there most of the time. IT would work just as well on my C: drive
except that the BBS is also on a partition of the C: drive, and the
cache gets hit pretty hard when a call comes in.
In order to use the c: drive, which is mostly DOS and Windows, I would have
to move the whole BBS to a partition on the D: drive. Not a small project.
Hopes this helps.

Write your reply.

assistant: No, they are two different versions, being programmed by two different
ople.
ADU* = Upgrade
ADF* = Full Version
If you are installing for the first time, you would of course get the full
version.
VAC is a C compiler by IBM, and Watcom is another C compiler.  This indicates
what the version was compiled with.
The VAC build is put out by SafeHex, and the Watcom build is put out by
gar.
The differences between the two are mainly speed, and a few features.
Hope this helps you a little.

WATCOM works better on genuine Intel pentium, VAC is better on AMD and

user: You are replying to All about "Connecting to Internet via PPP".

Write your reply.

assistant: I am running Maximus for OS/2 with BinkleyTerm 2.60 to OS/2 and Watergate
0.92 for DOS (I'll convert to the OS/2 version one day).
I would like to use Watergate to distribute a couple of echoes as internet
mailing lists. It seems easy to to do this with Watergate, and it creates
UUCP files which can be sent by programs like uucico.
I would also like to have e-mail available on my BBS.
There is a problem, however, in that I cannot find anyone who is prepared to
offer a uucp connection. All the ISPs say that they can only offer a PPP
connection.
I have been told that I would have to send SMTP packets to the ISP, and
collect POP3 packets for the return mail, but I'm not a fundi on this, so I'm
not sure exactly what is entailed.
But in order to at least try it out, I would like to know if there is any
software that will call an ISP using PPP, and send an SMTP packet and receive
a POP3 packet?
And if there is, will that software work with OS/2?
Can I set up an event in BinkleyTerm that would call such software, and get
it to call the ISP and make a PPP connection.
I've been told that there is a DOS program called KA9Q that might do this -
has anyone used it to do this successfully under OS/2?
Is anyone else calling ISP using PPP with OS/2 - if so what software do you
use, and how do you set it up?
Keep well,
Steve Hayes
