 Try to use the latest versions of OS2SNIFF and NCD.* from the MPTS fixpack.
In my experience only the new

When I had a cable mode, I also had a Motorola unit.  

Does yours have the signal lock LED?  If that's not out, or flashing, then
you might have problems getting them to check their end.

But if it is screwy, then they should come out and fix it.

I had to have my line adjusted twice, first for too low a signal, then for
too high a signal.  I also had to have the cable modem itself replaced
twice (making the lease option better than buying).

Check your \IBMLAN\IBMLAN.INI file for the similar lines:

Subj: How to Tell if There is More Data at Socket

From: "Casey Bralla" <NewsReader@NerdWorld.org>

I'm writing an application in Rexx that retreives eMail from POP3 servers. 
I'm having trouble with the code that actually gets the data from the socket.
 My problem is that I don't know how to efficiently tell if more data is
coming from the server.

I can look for a single "." on the last line, but there are lots of other
occasions where the server may repond with a single line, or multiple lines. 
Right now, I just pause for a while at every socket read to wait for more
data.  If it doesn't come after a couple seconds, I assume there is no more
to be had.   This works, but is rather slow.

Does anybody have any ideas on how to determine the number of lines of data
to be retrieved from a socket?

When you register (USER and PASS command) you can see he size of
each message. You can check this by telnetting to 110 port of a POP server.
For example - part of session:
===
+OK OS2PopS 2.02 02 Jun 97 ready <1080.112711260000@timur.sax.mmbank.ru>
user timurk
+OK Password required for timurk
pass YjdtkkF
+OK timurk has 1 message(s) (8261 octets).
list
+OK 1 8261
1 8261
.
===
So I have 1 message with size of 8261 bytes

Some machines seem to need the 2.62 version of the DEC driver for the Kingston
KNE100TX.... At least that has been my experience in upgrading from the KNE40
(10mbps) to the 100TX. I found that version on some DEC titled page deep
inside
the Compaq site... The newer KNE100TX's have the "DEC" tulip 21143
manufactured
now by Intel ;-]

If you look at RFC1725, which defines the POP3 protocol, you'll see that
the first <crlf>.<crlf> sequence *must* be the end of the message data. 
Any line beginning with a period will be byte-stuffed.  That is, it'll
have an additional period stuffed onto the beginning.  So, you'll also
need to look for <crlf>..<something else>, and change it to
<crlf>.<something else>.  This is done to any line beginning with a period
by the server.  It's the same thing you have to do when sending via SMTP,
as well.

In C/C++, you can use strstr() to look for the end sequence in the
received data.

For doing the translation of byte stuffing, a somewhat messy loop
involving strstr(), strncpy(), and a pointer variable will do.  C/C++ are
not good languages for string manipulation.  Another approach would be to
tokenize the data by line separation, which would make it easier to strip
the period from the front of any line, if it exists (for if there is one
period, there must be another).

I have a cpile of REXX scripts which illustrate the algorithm. I wrote
them to fix a longstanding bug in Post Road Mailer (which didn't byte 
stuff correctly).

A NetBeui packet has no place to identify the network it came from
or the network it is going to.  It is essentially a broadcast.  A router
can be set up to pass all Netbeui traffic through, and on a private
net that can allow Netbeui to appear to be internetworked.

However, every router on the internetwork would have to be set
up to pass through all Netbeui traffic.  That ain't gonna happen on
the Internet.

There might be some schemes to encapsulate a Netbeui packet
into an IP packet  --  with network routing information which can be
transmitted over the Internet, but if there is it has skipped my mind.

Plain NetBEUI protocol cannot be routed. You have to use NetBIOS over
TCP/IP (TCPBEUI) or NetBIOS over IPX (IPXBEUI) protocols to make
routing possible. Both protocols (TCPBEUI is preferrable because it
uses TCP/IP which is used in Internet) can be installed in MPTS
configuration window. You will have to edit your IBMLAN.INI file for
some corrections too.

Try SafeFire PPP. It is PPP client and server solution.

Thanx LS. I broke down and finally bought a pair ethercards. The rest 
will be easy:)

So that's what 'files' means in 'File & Print Sharing'?? Duh- saw that
every time during
install, but the 'files' part never sunk in. Index has lots of 'peer' 
but no cross ref's to file sharing.

Subj: Lots of dropped connections recently. Whydat?

From: steeltoe@kickass.com

Using Warp 4.0 with a new modem I get 26k usually, sometimes 21k and 
rarely 28k.
This is what I used to get with my old modems before lightning fried 
them, so nothing
is really new here.

What is new is that I get dropped connection(s) seemingly at random, 
i.e. not during a
severe slowdown or extended pause as one might expect. Its going along
fine and then
plonk. My ISP says log shows I have caused a disconnect of some sort.

To restart I simply have to begin a new connection, usually binary. It
is NOT that I have to
redial to my ISP, of course. I.e., there has been no 'carrier drop'.

Three possibilities loom:
	
	1.   My ISP has a 'soft' server, if that is even a legitimate 
possibility.

	2.   My local phone company or else the ISP leased line (another 
company) is giving
	      me noisy lines.

	3.   My modem is somehow inadequately setup.

Re: 3.  I'm using an odd modem init sequence as the new modem is not 
listed in IBM Dialup
for TCPIP. Is this the culprit here? When this is activated there is a
long negotiation with the
ISP to set rate & protocol, but the expected protocols are received ok
as per the Dialup
window:    
	
	Connect 26400/ARQ/V34/LAPM/V42BIS

Do I need to play with the init sequence, perhaps to provide more 
downward speed adjustment
capability, or something else? Modem is internal, jumpered for 
DOS/W3.1 and is a USR 5687-03
internal.

TIA,
Vincent Rapide

I've seen enough evidence myself to conclude that I would not trust anything
made by LGS.  Doesn't matter if they do happen to have some software that is
100% their own creation and my happen to be quite good.  I wrote MS off
completely years ago for a similar reason.  The told utter complete lies
about what their products were capable of.  I discovered the lie and have
found them to be repeating that lie on all their products to this day.  I
will never buy or use a MS product if I can at all avoid it.  And I will
never Buy, Use or Reccommend and LGS product because they stole code from FX
Communicaitons, doctored it up to make is look like theirs and sold it as
their own.  LGS is guilty of theft and deception.  I discovered the evidence
with no outside help.  I vote with my wallet.  I encourage others to see the
truth and do likewise.

Should also have:
  srvnets = NET1,NET2

And until the most recent versions, there was apparently a minor bug in
Samba which prevented OS/2 from seeing servers with the NET VIEW (whole
network) command (or through the GUI).  However, doing NET commands
specifically to the server (e.g. "NET VIEW sambabox", "NET USE
sambabox\printer") should still work.

This was fixed in the latest versions of samba, I think.

Thanks for the corrections! But... I have got a strange problems when added
this line to my IBMLAN.INI (some months ago) - I (my machine) have no

requester is constantly stopped after start. Removing this line solved this

Actions of Law are not require for everything.  As far as the evidence, I
know the people who did the binary testing and their reputation, I trust
their finding.  As far as the other evidence, I tested the products from LGS
and found that the documentation was virtually identical to FX's products, as
were the configuration files.  What more evidence do I need to conclude that
the LGS product was either created from stolen or dissasembled code from FX? 
Further more, what evidence do you need to be convinced of the truth?  Your
arguements are using the so called Law to hide behind.

And where the results of that testing? Make this public to everyone could be

Absolutely unimportant! I can find a 90% tallys in documenation for 1-2-3 and
Excel. What about configuration files... Have you ever compare the hosts file
from NT and OS/2 or SunOS? They are the same, but this is not a reason to
name OS/2 as a stolen code from SunOS or something else. Because this is
not a code of a program. If, for example, I like format of he FX's config
files
(or have no time to invent different) and I am developing program with the
same purpose, why not to use same format.

As far as me, the only thing I need is the opinion of the opposite side (LGS)
to
compare arguments and make my own decision. Or, the court verdict...

Unfortunately, LGS is silent...

LGS stole the EASY part (the documentation) THAT much anyone who looks can
see easliy..

if they stole the EASY part why should anyone think they did all the
programming (the HARD part) themselves..

get real dude..
the game is over..
LGS has nothing to offer us but the fruits of other folk's labor..
stole it and is trying to sell it for almost nothing..

Have you ever tried to make a documentation for program? Seems that no,
because documentation (and especially _good_ documentation) very
often is the hardest part of program product :-) This is true - don't laugh.

>if they stole the EASY part why should anyone think they did all the

Following your logic, if OS/2 uses the same format of services file as
the Irix does, why not to suppose that all code of OS/2 was stolen
from Irix?

It's called NetBIOS over TCP/IP, which is included in Warp Connect & 
Warp 4.  It's also available in Windows and is what SAMBA uses in the 
Unix/Linux world.  There's even an RFC for it.

as a matter of fact, I written a LOT documentation for programs..
some folks thought it was especially good..
some thought it took too many words..
no one thought it was unclear or incomplete..

and, it certainly is not easier to write words than code..
at least not for me..

Your procedures are flawed.  You are using the word compare functions.  They
only look for word matches.  I actually read both sets of documentation and
they were identical word for word except for the parts refering to a company
or product name.  A word compare won't tell you stuff like that.  As far as
your arguement about the host files being identical from NT, OS/2 and Sun. 
You are showing some rather severe ignorance.  Let me give you a little
lesson on how things really are.  The hosts file is part of the TCP/IP stack.
 TCP/IP was created by ATT in Bell Labs decades ago and was included in the
Unix operating system which they developed.  The OS and the ip stack were
released with source code to Universities.  Berkley University in California
created the BSD Unix distribution.  Almost all TCP/IP implmentations are
based on the IP stack from the Berkley Unix.  IBM has proper licenses to use
it and include it in other OS's, as do Microsoft and Sun.  There was nothing
stolen.  As far as your arguement that about using someones config file
format, you need permission and license to do so.  Without such, you are
stealing.

Well, then you are never going to be convinced because LGS is never going to
admit to their theft and I doubt this will ever make it into court.  It would
cost to much to prosecute for FX and it would put them out of business. 
Actually with the tone of your arguements and the fervor with which you
defend LGS, I am starting to think that you work for them.

Subj: os/2 connecting to NT network

From: Albert Fish <afish@videoupdate.com>

I have been asked to install OS/2 into our NT network. I have a couple 
problems I am not sure of. I must admit I have not worked with OS/2 much 
and have bought Getting to know OS/2 Warp 4 by Neil Stokes, Axel Buecker, 
Juergen Friedrichs, Veronika Moroian, and Robert Schey, which is a great 
book, however I need to ask 3 questions. 

1. When putting in the Domain name, is this for the NT network, or should 
it be a new OS/2 domain.

2. The TCP/IP Domain name, should this be a pdc on the NT network?, or 
again should it be the OS/2 workstation.

3. Do I have to have the OS/2 join or make an account for the OS/2 
workstation in the NT domain, as I would for a NT workstation, or will it 
be able to use the peer to peer and individual logins to gain access. 

I thank you for your help in advanced.

I did this once a long time ago, and I've completely forgotten what I 
did.  8-(>

I'm trying to configure a 3com 3C589 PCMCIA NIC for my Thinkpad 380XD, 
binding to NETBEUI.  It appears to work, the driver loads, the LED 
blinks, the requester starts, it accepts my logon...

And nothing.  It doesn't see any of the other systems on the LAN, it 
can't find the path to any resources, etc.

What have I forgotten?

NetBIOS over TCP/IP is not an encapsulation method.  It is a native
TCP/IP implementation  (or it could be described as a port) which allows
the NetBIOS API to be supported using IP.  I was thinking of something 
similar to IPX encapsulation for Netware where Netware servers
encapsulate IPX in IP, and send those packets to another Netware
server which unwraps the IP wrapper and sends on the IPX packet.

I've checked this today 
1)Files
InJoy Firewall has nearly 132 KB of documentation in 5 files (I am taking as 
early version as I can find):
 a)filter.txt
 b)firewall.txt
 c)gateway.txt
 d)license.txt
 e)register.txt
SafeFire Firewall has ~43 KB of documentation in 6 files:
 a)filter.txt
 b)install.txt
 c)license.txt
 d)readme.txt
 e)register.txt.
 f)sfadm.txt

So we can see that SafeFire's documentation is much lighter than InJoy one.  
There is no firewall.txt or gateway.txt alternatives in SafeFire documentation 

and no install.txt , readme.txt or sfadm.txt alternatives in Injoy.

2)Pairs. Let's look in the files both sets has:
a)filter.txt. 
Injoy's contents:
----
Description - Introduction words, list of FX products, says that config is
done 
by ascii files
Installation - Shows how to use zip or run self-extracting exe. Nothing more
Features - List of features.
Setup Guidance - List of configuration files (3 files used) and short 
description of each file
Filter Attributes - Table of 3 columns with list attributes list and
description
Sample Filters - Sample filters. Nothing more.
---
SF's contents:
----
1. Introduction - Says that reader must know TCP/IP ;)
2. General Concepts - What are filters for, how it works, list of parameters 
3. Configuration - Description of [filter] section (BTW: the configuration
files
seems to be different too.), rules; Also examples how to use sfadm.
4. Rule description syntax - in form similar to HTML lists, detailed rule 
parameters description.
BTW: Filter definition also differs. here is an examples:
SafeFire - "allow tcp from 192.168.0.0:255.255.0.0 to any smtp out"
InJoy - 
----------
FIN-PACKETS     Filter-Status = Always,
            Filter-Root = Yes,
            Comment = "Remove FIN pkts using Bit matching",
            Filter-Scope = Outgoing-Packets,
            Protocol = TCP,
            Bit-Number = 264,
            Bit-Value = 1,
            Action = Drop-Packet,
---------
---

I did not find other documentations to compare (Have not even tried to do this 

with register and license ;)
   
Nothing similar.
Am I wrong? If I am not wrong, then
this shows that you lies.

In your situation, OS/2 users should be validated agaist an NT accounts
domain.  Set up the OS/2 PCs in a peer to peer configuration like
a workgroup.

he TCP/IP domain name should be the TCP/IP domain name, e.g.,

Use individual logons for access.

Please, belive me that for single programmer (or for a group
of programmers) creating the documentation for developed
program is a headace. This is a task for a separate person.
And I'm guessing that LGS simply has no one. And, as we can
see above, their documentation is a much shorter and absolutely
different from FX's.

This is the only wasting of a time. I can put here a tons of other config
files
from the different programs that are the same or very close to each other.
And, as Vit Timchishin has noted before he config files are different :-)

Subj: DOS LAN requester

From: don'tspamrazorblade@uswest.net

I'm trying to create a DOS boot floppy to access resources on my OS/2
desktop. My approach has been to create a DOS partition, install the LAN
requester, make sure it works, and then transfer the minimal needed files
to the floppy. 

  I now have a DOS boot floppy, and the network drivers, and I've copied
what I think are the needed files, but when I type NET START I get: 

  IBM netbind version 2.1 (pause) 
  IBM DOS NETBEUI 2.03 (pause) 
  The CMDS service was not started because the file cmds.exe could not be
found 

  I have the file cmds.exe on my floppy, and I changed the paths in
protocol.ini from c:\net (the default from the original partition) to a:\ 

  Can someone tell me what's wrong?

Just a stupid questions :

Does your NW 5 contain IPX support ? It is my understanding that u
have to "bang" on the server to allow other stuff than IP.

not a stupid question......  but, yes... it is...  40 other clients are
logging in
via IPX/SPX....  it's just me...  I've modified the net.cfg as follows: XXX of
course is 
properly designated...



FILE HANDLES = 99

link driver e100b
   frame ethernet_802.3
   frame ethernet_802.2

NETWARE REQUESTER
   NAME CONTEXT "donm.users.XXX"

   PREFERRED TREE REDWOOD
   CACHE BUFFERS 12
   SESSIONS 16


and opening NWTOOLS I can browse the directory tree and see all of the users
and 
all of the printers / devices on the net.. but I cannot login..????

If I shutdown, and reboot to NT, it goes in fine... I'm wondering if it's a 
Novell 5 vs. OS/2 problem..  or am I being stupid in public.. ?

	Yes, I'm doing it at the job.  To connect myself, I open NWTools, go 
to the "Arborescence" (or Tree?) window, select my login name and 
double-click on it.  Well, just to say that it is working.

Are you sure the server using 802.3 and 802.2 and not ethernet_ii? That
can cause weird behavior, along the lines that you're describing.
I suspect the Netware 5 server may be set to ethernet_ii and the
windows clients are as well, or are autosensing correctly (for
a change).

Subj: Copy to a WIN95 PC from a WARP 3 PC

From: Knud <knud_ch@post1.tele.dk>

Hi

I have a problem to copy file(s) to a WIN95 PC connected by LAN to a
WARP 3 ( FP 40 ). Reading files on the WIN95 PC works ok.

When I try to write a file on the WIN95 PC it's says that the file
allready exits whith size 0 ( and it actually does ), it seems that the
file is copied twice ! the first time with size 0.
It done from either ZTree or the PM ( by drag and drop )


WIN95 is B version ( OSR 2 )

It runs NETBIOS on all pc's

When I try from the command prompt it works fine.

When I try ( drag and drop )from a WIN 3.11 PC ( same LAN ) it works
fine !

Any idea ?


Knud

Subj: Multicast File Transfer Tool for OS/2

From: Joao Luiz P Jr <jluiz@neocomm.com.br>

Hello everybody,
We just released the NeoComm Vector for OS/2 version GA1.00. It's a file

transfer utility that uses multicast technology in a one-to-may basis.
Ours tests showed a bandwidth saving up to 70% compared to conventional
FTP.

More information at: http://www.neocomm.com

From: donm@ftel.net (Don Morse)

Thanks to all for helping....

turned out to be the following...

1) the name context of   donm.users.XXX  should have been  .users.XXX

2) the manual, "getting to Know OS/2 Warp 4" showed an equals sign in
	the name context.  that is incorrect...  

once those were changed it worked great....


thanks again all!

Do you really need two frames ?
Try to use only 802.2 (or 802.3 if you like, but I think 802.2 is better)
And also select only 802.2 in MPTS - IPX card configuration.

Subj: DSL with Flowpoint 144 IKSL Router - help

From: judithr@primenet.com

I am getting a DSL setup, not the best but the best available in my
area.  It comes with a FlowPoint 144 router with firewall. Company
is Internet Connect. 

Has anybody had any experience setting this up in OS/2?  They will
setup for me in Linux and WinNT, but I am on my own in OS/2.  Any
suggestions?  Help sites? Good or bad experience?

Good.

Just for your information, the OS/2 client does not seem to be able
to use long file names on NSS volumes. Works o.k. on conventional
volumes mounted *PRIOR* loading the NSS stuff.

It sounds like you'll have no problems.  Make sure you're up to date with
MPTS, install the driver for the LAN card you have/will get, then check
off the DHCP box in the TCP/IP settings notebook.

If they'll do Linux, then the router will appear to be just a 10Base-T
connection to your computer.
