Write your reply.

assistant: Hello All
I've recently moved the BBS to a lan. I use Novell Netware 4.10, running on a
486DX33 with 32 mb of RAM. The server is connected to the workstations via
RG58 thin ethernet with 3 nodes on the single segment.
ALL netework cards are 3/Com etherlink III running the 3C5X9 driver.
There are 7 SCSI drives in the server (all recent technology).
The runs on a Pentium Workstation with 32 mb of RAM, a single SCSI drive and
running under OS/2 Warp connect.
The problem: It runs like a dog!
To copy a 5 mb file on the server takes around 45 seconds, where it used to
take 5 before I moved the filebase to the server.
General BBS performance is way day. Ie. the OS/2 workstation is significantly
slower with the network drivers loaded.
Can anyone suggest some ways of improving performance?
Also, any one suggest some books available (in Vic, Aus), that will educate
me in the area of performance tuning.

Not exactly.  You can have as many simultaneous connectionas as you want.
Look at the file \ibmlan\ibmlan.ini .
The peer server comes with a "typical" configuration for 30 users.
But if you know how to do, you can change the values, and support thousands
of users.
Sure. And neither lan Server is a dedicated server.  You can use the machine
for whatever you want.
False. Warp Connect can share the modems out of the box.  But the client must
be another Warp connect. You cannot share modems with Win.xx

Write your reply.

assistant: Hello everybody,
  I just recently installed WR08210 and UN00067 (MPTS and TCP/IP fixes)
and it seems to have broken a few things. I was wondering if anybody else
has or can verify the following.
  My Penguin FTPD no longer works from "inetd", as soon as "inetd" spawns
the session Penguin FTPD exits with a 3175 (error in SO32DLL.DLL) and I
can no longer even start it manually after that until I reboot. If I run
it seperately (not thru inetd) it works fine. Also, Gibbon FTP works fine
but gives me a 3175 (error SO32DLL.DLL) everytime I close it. I also use
CKermit (setup with TCP/IP only, no comm support installed) and it won't
even open anymore. It starts to open up the window, but the cursor just
sits in the upper-lefthand corner of the window and the window remains
blank. I can't even close the window from the pop-up menu, task window or
using any of the process "kill" programs, I have to reboot to get rid of
the window.
  All my standard IBM OS/2 servers/clients, etc. seem to run fine but it
appears to have broken several of my 3rd party TCP/IP applications.

I have not gone with that update. The last patch I applied was pj21507 for
TCP/IP 3.0. I have not had any problems with it & it fixed several issues I
had with Connect. There is a beta release of TCP/IP 4.0. It has been
reported as stable (your milage may very). I have it available on my
website: http://www.amaranth.com/~whgiii. I have not installed it yet as I
have spent the past couple of days applying patches to my Novell server.
I would either try the 4.0 or drop back to pj21507. If you go with 4.0 be

Is it possible to do some sort of UNIX-like rlogin on the other computer so

assistant: Hello,    I am new to this Echo, but a long time user and avid
fan of OS/2. I am hoping someone might assist me with a question facing
myself and a few other co-workers who work from home/remote sights.
        Over our objections, our main office network has been switched over
to Windows NT, with Win95 on most workstations. A number of Win95
applications are now in use, with more to come. Some of these applications
have files that our remote users and myself will need access to.
        Is there any product on the market that will allow us to run OS/2 on
"our" remote computers and access the office network via modem and control or
access data from Win95 applications?
        I understand that Stardock Systems is working on a product that will
convert data back and forth, but it has not been released. But I have yet to
see ANY product advertise running NT remotely from an OS/2 machine via modem.
        Your assistance would be greatly appreciated!!! I simply HATE the
idea of being jammed into using an inferior, klunky operating system. If they
want to spend half the workday waiting for their machines and apps, rebooting
with numerous freeze ups and lockups, so be it. That is their loss. But I
would like to stick with something that actually works. And I cannot help
thinking that there simply has to be some others out there in the business
community that feel the same way and would jump all over a product that
allowed them to remain productive in an operating system intended for fast
paced business and not shooting screen creatures and listening to ray gun
bleeps.
        Again, your assistance would be greatly appreciated!!!!!!!
