- We have been waiting for MONTHS to have OS/2 2.0 installed on our machines
- because our network folks claim that the Netware Requester for OS/2 2.0
- is not available yet and/or that it is not fully functional and/or that
- it is too buggy to "waste" time with.
-
- I read somewhere that the OS/2 2.0 NW Requester was released on July 1!
- I need to verify the the OS/2 version 2.0 Netware Requester is available
- and is generally thought of as being "ready" (if this is indeed the case).
-
- The other reason that they tell me that we'll have to wait at least 6 months
- before we can have our OS/2 2.0 is that drivers supposedly do not exist for
- the network cards that we have (Cabletron E2010's and E2110's). IS THIS
- CORRECT???
-
- I would also like info on using IBM's TCP/IP 1.2.1 package with the setup
- listed below. If anyone can verify that the OS/2 workstations described
- below will INDEED continue to work wonderfully if we upgrade from OS/2 1.3
- to OS/2 2.0 (and NW Requester), please let me know!
