- I've been following this newsgroup for awhile and have read Dean Pentcheff's
- Guide to OS/2 Networking. He does not get into IPX and TCP/IP together.
- It seems ODINSUP is the answer, but what is it? Perhaps it's obvious I have
- not tried using IBM's OS/2 TCP/IP stuff (ie is it explained in that
- documentation?) If so, that's all I need to know. I am running the
- Novell OS/2 Requestor with fixes.
-
- As a related aside, I want to run a DOS program using IPX and either a DOS
- or preferably OS/2 terminal emulation program concurrently. I need the
- emulation to be for a VT320 terminal. The emulation program could use either
- IPX or TCP/IP I guess, which is where this ODINSUP stuff comes in? Suggestions
- or help greatly appreciated. I heard that IBM's "Network Transport Services"
- will help with the TCP/IP+IPX problem. Still, I'd like to know about ODINSUP
- Further, I would like recommendations on IBM or third party terminal emulation
- packages which will use either TCP/IP or IPX (maybe even some other protocol
- if that makes sense). I was just looking at KERMIT. I guess I could use
- that in a DOS session, having KERMIT use TCP/IP, also using IBM's OS/2 TCP/IP
- to make this possible?
-
- thanks for any pointers to more info etc
