The configuration is: PC 386/SX with 640 Kb RAM HD 100 Mb One Ethernet card One "micro-mopdem Baycom" 1.200 bauds. The resident programs are : Driver to control the Ethernet card "ne1000" Driver to control the "micro-modem"(ax25 driver) The problem is that: There memory left is: 75 Kb and de system not soports much sessions and reboots often. I tried to run WNOS4A8 with Windows program to get virtual memory on HD but it isn't posible. Windows crash. I would like to know how can i get more memory using the virtual memory on disk. Thanks a lot. 73 Curro eb3aod e-mail : jgrau@rigel.etse.urv.es ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 11 Feb 1994 09:34:21 -0600 (CST) From: Don Loflin Subject: PMNOS To: Mike Bilow On Thu, 10 Feb 1994, Mike Bilow wrote: > There are two broadly different approaches possible.

You might want to consider writing an SCC driver as a "Frame Interface" driver. What's Frame Interface, you ask? A driver spec for OS/2 being worked on by several of us on the OS2IP mailing list. The Frame IF is a Ring-3 interface - i.e applications can send/receive packets directly, something you can't do with NDIS drivers. NDIS and ODI drivers both have only an inter-device-driver interface - only another device driver can talk to them. The Frame IF was conceived primarily to be that "other device driver" to allow applications (such as PMNos) to talk to NDIS and ODI drivers. It's a generic interface, though, and actually fairly similar to the FTP Packet Driver spec. It should be straightforward to adapt an existing DOS drivers (pktdvr or internal NOS) to Frame IF. Interested parties should join the OS2IP mailing list (send mail to maiser@its.flint.umich.edu, "subscribe OS2IP" in the body). The spec itself is not quite finished, but should be done in a week or so (an early, incomplete draft is available on its.flint.umich.edu). An NDIS<->FrameIF driver is in progress as well. --Don Loflin ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 11 Feb 94 08:47:38 CST From: rtorres@tazz.coacade.uv.mx Subject: SLIP connection?? To: tcpgroup@ucsd.edu Hi!!. I am wondering if someone has been successful installing a SLIP connection with the internal drivers. I can do it with the Clarkson packet drivers or a PPP connection by example, but never with the internal slip drivers :(. Do someone successful with it can help me with it please.. Thanks!!
