[I sent a version of this message yesterday, with no replies yet.  Now
I have more details about the problem.]
I recently wanted to add TCP/IP version 1.2.1 to my OS/2 2.0 system
(Gateway 2000 486DX2/50, 8 MB, SMC = WD Ethercard Plus Elite 16 network
card).  The installation and configuration seemed to go smoothly, but
on rebooting I got a series of messages from the device drivers loaded
in CONFIG.SYS and then a blank screen and c000005 in the upper left corner.
I know the machine, OS/2, and card work OK because I have been running
PC-NFS in a VDM to access the network.

After REMming out all the added DEVICE= and RUN= lines in CONFIG.SYS
and then reactivating them one at a time, I localized the problem to
the very first one:
DEVICE=C:\IBMCOM\PROTMAN.OS2 /I:C:\IBMCOM
When this line is active I get the c000005.  Has anybody seen anything
like this?  What should I check for?  I've poked around but find
nothing obviously wrong, e.g., in the entries in the PROTOCOL.INI file.

Thanks in advance -- Eliot Smith
