I may be out of touch, but I don't know of any ISDN cards that look like a serial port to the computer. That leaves a few cards that have CAPI support for OS/2 from Elsa, Eicon, High Soft Tech and AVM. If you really have to use In-Joy, then you can use cFOS/2 to create virtual serial ports which talk to CAPI. In my opnion, that's an unholy kluge, but what do I know... I use Isdnpm which talks direct to the CAPI interface of my Teles 16.3 card. The problem with Isdnpm is that all I get is one channel and no compression, but that seems to be all one can get with a cheap CAPI cards in OS/2. Well, maybe the Ukrainian Safefire PPP will provide these features eventually. > Alternatively an external ISDN modem > and an accelerated COM port (Capable of 400Kbit/S or more) may be a > choice but again I'd like to hear if anyone has got this to work and > how. This might be a good way to go. At least then you can get two channels and even compression, if you're lucky and a) your ISP supports compression and b) your ISP supports the kind of compression your external TA can do... I can't say I know any good ISDN sites for OS/2. There used to be more, but they seem gone.

I wonder? Can you turn the power off and on in this controller, like an external modem? Or is it an internal device and you can't turn it off and on? Reason I ask is that when using OS/2 and DOS-VDM sessions with TNC controllers for ham packet use, I see this sort of thing on occaision. I can break the syndrome by turning the power off on the TNC and then life's wonderful the next time around. It's irregular with my station. I've not dug deeply into it. However I think I understand that what is happening is that there is data still in the buffer for the device. If the buffer isn't clean, then on a re-init, the device can't init, because it can't flush the buffer. I thought I learned a long time ago that OS/2 doesn't actually have the "port" until it is needed for a certain session. It's, remember, a virtual port, an object, if I understand all this right. One of the problems I think I understand that erupts, is that OS/2, being pre-emptively multi-tasking, is perfectly free to both create and de-create that port as needed for its own internal threading et. al. That ain't so good for serial port applications which are running in real time, provided that there is no real way to control the data flow in syncronization with what OS/2 will allow as a pre-emptive multi-tasker. On packet, or for satellite links, for example, the device at the other end may not stop sending data until it can be shut down, which may be way behind what OS/2 thinks it is OK to pre-empt! You have to excercise real control over buffering and buffer sizes to make sure you have enough space to handle all error-generated contingencies! Thus, like cows in a trailer, if you yank the loading chute out from under the string of them coming out of the trailer down into the pen, one of two things has to happen. Either some of them will fall out on the ground and get mangled, or, if the application can stop the herd, some of them may still be in the trailer .. lost... If an empty trailer is one prequirement for putting a new chute in place . and you have no way to remove them .. no cows in the pen again that load. If you can make the traier dissapear and re-appear, beef for supper! --> Sleep well; OS2's still awake! ;) Mike - W5WQN Mike.Luther@ziplog.com Mike.Luther@f3000.n117.z1.fidonet.org --- WtrGate+ v0.93.p7 sn 165 * Origin: Usenet: Posted via Supernews, http://www.supernews.com (1:109/42) +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ From: JeanMichel.Dossogne@advalvas.be 24-Oct-99 22:53:09 To: All 25-Oct-99 03:26:09 Subj: ISDN and OS/2 From: "Jean-Michel Dossogne" < JeanMichel.Dossogne@advalvas.be> Hello Anssi.

From: aldel@ibm.net Had Win95 + OS/2 Ver3 Red on my IBM Thinkpad 755CD with Floppy drive and IBM Cdrom working fine. Somehow lost the cdrom and Modem trying to install Ver 4. (had to reinstall) Had to reinstall Windows 3.1 because I have the disks and os2 ver3. Managed to get the modem pcmia back working: but cannot get the cd-rom back. The cd rom is an IBM teac. I tried atapi drivers, msdex, and a couple others, No good. Help really appreciated. Albert.
