  33. Right now I am running the IBMTOKEN.COM packet driver and the IBM OS/2 LAN Requ 
  34. ester and CUTCP all at the same time all on the same token ring adapter.        
  35. You will first need the OS/2 NTS/2 Beta LAPS disks, they can be gotten from     
  36. 800-IBM-3040 (I see you are international, sorry for the 800 number).  This new 
  37.  version of LAPS (or NTS/2?) comes with a Virtual IEEE 802.2 driver for DOS     
  38. boxes.  Within LAPS I changed the System Key from its default of 0 to 0002 in t 
  39. he OS/2 configuration for IEEE 802.2.  Then open the DOS box, and use the comma 
  40. nd C:\IBMCOM\LTSVCFG S=16 C=18 N1=1 D=1.  Then load the IBMTOKEN.COM packet     
  41.  driver, then load CUTCP, or NCSA, or whatever.                                 
  42. This Virtual 802.2 looks to be very powerful at allowing OS/2 to share network  
  43. adapter resources with DOS Network packet drivers that are written to 802.2.
