I'll tell you my story...maybe it will help: When I first started using Warp v4 I bought 2 3Com 509B cards to network 2 machines. The setup was pretty easy and the speed of the network even on ISA cards has surprised me greatly. The only 2 problems I had to figure out were: 1) PnP needed to be turn off on these cards. You can do that with the included setup utility. 2) Modem support needed to be set to 9600 baud or less or about what you describe happens...of course I set modem support as high as it would go initially.

I'm going over to their web page in a few minutes and will probably order it based on your description. Sounds good. Also, I agree with you about the Warp 3.0 Unleashed book. I wasn't all that impressed either. And like you say, maybe the Warp 4 Unleashed book due out in March will be better. If you remember, Warp 3.0 came out a fair amount of time before "connect" was available. I think that's why the Warp 3 Unleashed book didn't have much networking stuff in it. I think Unleased was based on the beta Warp 3.0 versions (not connect). The Warp 4 Unleashed *should* be better when it arrives. I also have a favorite book to promote. It's a generic "network" book designed for folks new to networking. But it is very comprehensive and has plenty of technical stuff in it as well as "how-to" and "why" stuff. It's the best overall networking book I've ever seen. I got it at our local (famous) book store here in Denver called "The Tattered Cover". It's got 856 pages. Title is "PC Networking Handbook". Written by Ed Tittel. Copyright 1996 by Academic Press, Inc. ISBN 0-12-691398-6. It has 44 chapters and five sections. The Sections are titled: 1) Network Cabling and Media, 2)Networking Technologies and Access Methods, 3) Networking Protocols, 4) Networking Equipment 5) Network Management. Very good readability. I found virtually everything in the book applied to OS/2. It is not written in such a way as to be operating system specific. I learned a lot from it and it is a very good reference when I need to look up something or other. -Frank (fsexton@xpert.net - http://www.concentric.net/~fsexton) --- Blue Wave/OS2 v2.30 * Origin: Wildcard BBS,Thornton,CO HST/V34+ +1-303-252-0491 (1:104/725) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 207 OS2 LAN Ref: E2E00002 Date: 02/09/97 From: ALEC HERRMANN Time: 11:59am \/To: MICHAEL MCBROOM (Read 0 times) Subj: Warp4 books Hello Michael, Replying to a message of Michael McBroom to All: MM> Well, I promised I'd post a note about this book once I got it and had MM> a chance to look it over, so here goes: MM> Neil Stokes, Axel Buecker, Juergen Friedrichs, Veronica Moroian, and MM> RobertSchey. _Getting to Know OS/2 Warp 4_.
