- Gidday.
-
- Now that I (at last!) have upgraded to TCP/IP 1.2.1 with the kind
- assistance of the people on this group, I have a new problem.
-
- Does anyone have/know about an OS/2 NDIS driver for the Isolan 4110-3
- card? It's in an MCA machine (PS/2 55sx with 8MB) and the local agents
- don't have a clue what I'm talking about. Unfortunately, I don't have
- much of a clue either.
-
- Any help would be appreciated. (They want to use Ethernet like me,
- rather than SLIP and I don't blame them.)
-
- P.S. Is there a CSD for the Xwindows module? That focus problem is a
- real pain and I recently had to kill the xterm on the Unix box to do
- anything with it.

- There is an OS/2 NDIS driver in the latest drivers disk set (v. 3.10).
- Unfortunately, it is dated May 1991, so I do not know if it works with 2.0.
-
- The Norwegian distributor, after I have been pestering him for months for
- a working ODI driver for OS/2 2.0, tells me that :
-
- a) 3Com has stopped production of the BICC cards since their recent takeover
- b) 3Com has stopped further driver development for BICC cards
-
- So, no working ODI driver for OS/2 2.0 ( for Netware and OS/2 coexistence),
- probably no other modern working drivers either.
- (There is a working ODI for MSDOS, however, though only for 16-bit cards)
-
- Which leaves us, a 100 % BICC installation, somewhere out in the cold.
-
- Buy new cards? Yes, probably over time.
- Buy new 3Com cards, you said? No, sir !
