- I am a new user to OS/2. I have 1.5 weeks experience with it thus far. It is
- installed on a 386-25 generic clone type machine with 8 megs of ram. I
- would like to be able to use the Clarkson University TCP/IP Package under
- OS/2. To date I have been able to telnet and ftp using CUTCP under OS/2
- using an Everex Speedlink/PC16 Ethernet card. But there are two ever-present
- problems. The first is that I must run the packet driver which comes with
- the Speedlink TWICE in order to initialize the driver. On the first run of
- FTPSLINK.COM I get the message that the packet driver loaded along with
- "Driver Initialization is failed". On the second try everything works fine.
-
- The second problem that I experience has to do with running
- other sessions or programs while running telnet in a dos window or full
- screen session. If I open an OS/2 session or run an OS/2 application all
- is fine. If I open a DOS window or full screen session there is a fifty fifty
- chance that upon returning to the telnet session I will find that it has
- frozen. I have read the FAQ and monitored the OS/2 news groups looking for
- clues. I think I have changed all the DOS setting that need to be changed,
- but that does not mean they are correct. If you are currently using CUTCP
- or have some idea as to what my problem may be I would appreciate hearing
- from you.
-
- I would also like to hear from anyone that is using SUN PC-NFS under OS/2.
- I understand that under DOS/Windows the RAL PKTMUX packet driver
- multiplexing interface enables one to use SUN PC-NFS and the Clarkson
- utilities simultaneously.
-
- I'd really like to hear from anybody who has used PC-NFS of PKTMUX under
- OS/2 before I try to install either of these applications. Any clues to
- proper instillation under OS/2 (dos session or other) as well as potential
- problems would be highly appreciated and a big time saver.
-
- Thanks.
