assistant: Here is my hosts file, it helps me get around my local net.  All the machines
use the same one (\MPTN\ETC\Hosts)
This is the setup.cmd file from one of my client machines:
(\MPTN\Bin\Setup.Cmd, and it should be in your startup folder)
This is the setup.cmd file from the Injoy machine:
      Also, make sure and copy your resolv file from the Injoy machine to
resolv2 on the clients.  And don't forget you need a resolv file in the ETC
directory that any dos or windows programs are using.
      If you need information on the Win95 machine, I can get it from him,
but it will take a few days.
      It seems like I'm forgetting something, but I had to experiment with
several things to get it working in the first place, so maybe not.  If this
doesn't get it, let me know and I'll dig into the whole MPTS thing.

assistant: I'm using the sendmail and smtpd modules I've extracted from GIGO and
I just run them from the command line to send/receive e-mail (I didn't
actually go through and configure GIGO itself).
It seems to work ok, although there was a problem with UUIN not reading
the mail packets generated from smtpd correctly.   I got a fix from Salt
Air (newer than the official release version) that corrected the
problem, although the log file still complains about a bad size number
after the "rnews" line in messages (but it still works).
You can get the fixed UUIN from Salt Air in the UUCP conference (it's
attached to one of the last messages there).
I'm still looking for something more native to OS/2 that is more
directly compatable with PCBoard, without having to make my own (which
apparently others are resorting to)...

Boot to the command prompt, store your current 01 02 03 and rename the saved
directories back to 01 02 or 03. Then on the next reboot, you have your saved
image available. Once booted, rename it back or you will lose it within 3
boots. I choose this method because I have never succesfully edited the CMD
file to allow for other archives, and it doesn't require any special access.
I can use an install disk to give me enough access to get the archive
restored. I also figure I will have tried the 3 autosaves before I give up
and grab a renamed archive.
