Subj: All Dynamic IP-nrs?

From: News@The-Net-4U.com (M.P. van Dobben de Bruijn)


OK there we go again.

A few months ago I managed to install
the UCP COM21 modem. Thanks to the
support in a Dutch OS/2 group at that time.

I have found that UPC is not competent
enough at the moment to guarantee 24h
fast internet cable connections that work.

So time to leave them again (I am not that
much on line that their real charges would be
far less than the per minute phone dial-up char-
ges we get for local phone-connections over he-
re). One of the alternative ISP's is of course doing
everything dynamically, my IP, their gateway, both 
the DNS-servers etc. etc. That is the one I am now
having trouble with to get it working. Do I need to in-
stall or confige anything special for them? I do use mo-
re ISP than one just to improve chanches of a connect.

kindest regards

Subj: OC:WebConnect and OS/2??

From: "Larry Belan" <IHateSPAM@montypython.org>

Anyone out there running this program (a java based tn3270 telnet) on OS/2?

I have access to this program for working on some budget/purchasing tasks,
but it looks like the developers are using some security techniques that
OS/2's Java VM doesn't support.

I'm still running the latest 1.1.7 java vm.  Would updating to the 1.1.8 vm
help?

Subj: Re: Netscape Plug-ins

Message sender: madbrain%nospam@nospam.thetaband.com

From: Julien Pierre <madbrain%nospam@nospam.thetaband.com>

Plug-ins run within the Netscape process. There is no "associated
executable" - all the code is in the plug-in DLL. For example, the
Digital Sound & Music Interface for OS/2 plug-in at
http://www.thetaband.com/npdsmi loads all the multimedia code into the
Netscape process.

Netscape loads all plug-in DLLs that match "PLUGINS\NP*.DLL" when it
starts. If you want more information on how plug-ins work, download the
OS/2 Netscape plug-in toolkit from IBM.

The Acrobat PDF plug-in is an exception - the plug-in DLL does IPC with
their ACROREAD.EXE to pass the data. It's a much more complicated
plug-in than most, and there is no role for this type of implementation.

I'm specifically  interested in the Acrobat PDF...

I understand about the PLUGINS directory under Netscape, but I can't
figure out how NPPDFOS2.DLL finds ACROREAD.EXE if it is not on the path
and has no association set up with PDF files. There is a file - NSCP.INI 
in  C:\OS2 which on my system has an entry for ACROREAD. Is this where
Netscape gets its info?

Subj: ProNews2 trouble; Memory leak?

From: Daniel Say <say@sfu.ca>

  I've had a recent problem with ProNews2, 
which is why I'm not using it here.

  When pulling in the newsgroups and messages,
near the end of the task it crashes giving me
a Trap E error, and a previous message about
Newserver swapfile is full.
  I've moved my OS/2 swapfile address to 
a volume with 270 megabytes; it used to be
at the \os2\system with about 70 megabytes
free.

  The program is fine until the end when
there is a rush of RAM (62 megabytes) deletion
or outflow.  That is my PmPatrol monitor line
shows that RAM is dropping fast and going to 
zero from about 50 megabytes.  This is a 
sudden change.

  Has there been a memory leak problem documented
before?

Anyone else have a problem with the latest Communicator for OS/2.  I
downloaded and installed 4.6, and it constantly crashes.  It doesn't seem to
discriminate on which page it will crash, but if I try to email a page, or
even sometimes when I scroll down a page it will crash.

Subj: Netscape 4.61 complaining!

From: News@The-Net-4U.com (M.P. van Dobben de Bruijn)


Having some weird problems after installing FP12
I decided to backout to FP11. Problems did not va-
nish, so I thought some left-overs from old versions or
partially deleted tests of applications might be in the way
also. Time to take the drastic approach and re-install from
the original CD 4.0 no FP and apply FP11 right-away. System
sure responds a lot better and without the hickups. So perhaps
it was the FP12 after all or something else that got awry over time.

But Netscape 4.61 Gold go installed for this on another partition,
as I have my applications (perhaps <g> that is the fault labelling NS
as an application?) all on a seperatie partition. Worked before the re-
isntall without a problem. Now after the re-install it complains. Attempts
to start it will fail at an error-screen stating that RESDLL.DLL could not be
found. Sure enough it is not there anymore on the boot-partition. I installed
GRADD .80 also. But as far as I know this DLL belongs to the video-system,
so if it does not get installed by simply installing the base OS and applying
FP11
and Netscape as a core component of updating our systems depends on it, what
new hurdles will be introduced in the install / setup-processes by this?

From: Don McLeod <zachmcleod@earthlink.net>

I have a 3Com/USR Internet Voice/Fax modem. I can't get the thing to run
under OS/2 Warp 4. It's NOT a WINMODEM. I can get it to run fine under
DOS, or Linux, but not Warp 4. Does anyone have any suggestions? I've
tried copying the initialize strings and using different modems types
but nothing seems to work.

Thank-you,
