These are the settings I am using to run all my comm programs under os2
(including wildcat!3.55) I have had very good results with them
I am running a 486/33 with 20megs ram I cannot promise this will work
with less than 16meggs ram and anything smaller than a 486sx
This help file assumes a working knowledge of OS2.20 on your part
I also would STRONGLY suggest you have OS2 installed using boot mannager
if you also have MSDOS installed on your machine.
1> make a copy of the dos window or dos full screen icons
2> open the settings window for the dos icon you will be using
to run your comm prog or bbs. from
3> go to program area insert path and exe for program in the path
area
4> open the session page then open dos settings
5> I am only listing the settings I have tinkered with to get
this to work.
SETTINGS:
com_direct_access >on
com_hold >on
dos_background execution >on
dos_break >off
dos_device c:\x00.sys
f:\os2\mdos\ansi.sys
(adjust your paths accordingly)
dos_files >40
dos_high >on
dos_umb >on
hw_rom_to_ram >on
idle_seconds >60 (maxed)
idle_sensitivity >100 (maxed)
I have not altered anything else in OS2 so if you have I can't
promise this will work.
******** YOU MUST INSTALL THE IBM SERVICE CORRECTION DISKS*********
these can be requested from me on my bbs at 402-397-5088
they can be found on internet at software.watson.ibm.com via
an anonymous ftp
or you can call the IBM support bbs at 507-388-1154
the service disks are 20 megs total but only replace the bad files in
os2.20 it will increase the total size of os2.20 by about five megs
If you don't get and install the correction disks I can't help you
*Most of this information was gotten from Dave Sempek who seems to
know more about os2.20 and how to run it then IBM themselves do
