They came with old drivers (vintage up to 91 or so) I tried the one for the Eagle Novell NE2000 but it didnt find the card.. I did set the IRQ, & 2 address's to match the card.. Is anyone using EZ-NE2000 cards?? I can get these cheap if they work.. Lastly, does anyone know if Intell has an OS/2 setup program for there old 8/16 express cards??

I am running Warp Conect v3 red-spine with W4W 3.11 providing the Windows functionality. I am currently using the Warp TCP/IP to connect to our company LAN. We are currently switching our E-Mail from a DOS-based system to MS Mail Exchange. Can I get some advice on how to run MS Mail Exchange under Warp/TCP/IP? I tried to install the Mail Exchange client by running the setup program using Warp WINOS2. The setup program ran and I tried to configure the Ethernet 3Com cards and define the network. But, Windows won't start in the network mode under Warp. The Warp info library for TCP/IP says that DOS/WIndows apps needing TCP/IP support should be installed in the TCPIP directory. Do I need to install the entire Mail Exchange program in the TCPIP directory? I don't think that the setup program even gives me that much choice. Any help would be appreciated. --- Maximus/2 2.02 * Origin: OS/2 Shareware BBS, telnet://bbs.os2bbs.com (1:109/347) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 207 OS2 LAN Ref: DF200005 Date: 11/01/96 From: GUSTAVO MUSLERA Time: 08:57am \/To: SCOTT DRAKE (Read 3 times) Subj: POST.EXE En un mensaje del a Gustavo Muslera (4:850/3.7), escribio: SD> On Tuesday October 29 1996 at 23:28, Gustavo Muslera wrote to Scott Drake: SD>> I am using IBM's InterNet Connection Server and it doesn't SD>> come with several utilites like POST.EXE which I really need!

Exist in hobbes a CGI program that is for guestbooks, if you are not using an especific CGI... try it, read the instructions, perhaps you find what is missing. About counters, I'm using CTServer, that is a counter program based in the wwwcount, but it acts like another www server (to invoque it you put, in example ) gaining speed as I must not execute an CGI every time I send a page with a counter.

The above software will work on Warp Connect as well. You will have to obtain it separately if you do not have Warp Server or Warp 4.0. It is likely cheaper to buy the Warp 4.0 (aka Merlin) upgrade package (around $150 CDN) than to buy TME Netfinity separately. I will have to check to see if the Warp 4.0 TME Netfinity contains the same features as TME Netfinity obtained separately or with Warp Server.
