- Well Joern, we have been trying much the same thing and trying to run any
- kind of packet driver set up with OS/2 and NetWare didn't work too well if
- at all. We ended up going for IBM's TCP/IP 1.2.1 product for OS/2. Even with
- using it took half a dozen people from IBM, SMC (our NIC supplier) and Novell
- to figure out all the config.sys, net.cfg and protocol.ini files. NCSA telnet
- just doesn't work yet with the OS/2-Novell combination. What appears to be the
- problem is that the Requester grabs hold of the NIC and won't let the packet
- drivers for Telnet access. The TCP/IP product I mentioned above seems to have
- solved this. If you ever do figure out a way to make them work please let
- the rest of us know.
