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 PC4U / The-Net-4U Peter van Dobben de Bruijn Regards from Leeuwarden Peter van Dobben de Bruijn --- usethenet.at.the-net-4u.com (.at. becomes @) ---- --- WtrGate+ v0.93.p7 sn 165 * Origin: Origin Line 1 Goes Here (1:109/42) +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ From: IHateSPAM@montypython.org 07-Nov-99 17:19:18 To: All 07-Nov-99 20:07:02 Subj: OC:WebConnect and OS/2??

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? >John Poltorak wrote: >> >> Can some point me to a guide to how Netscape plug-ins work? >> >> I realise you need to copy a DLL from the plug-in to the directory :- >> >> x:\netscape\PROGRAM\PLUGINS >> >> But I can't work out how the DLL locates the associated executable, >> such as acroread.exe for example.

From: Daniel Say 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?

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 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?
