I'm using OS/2 Warp 3 Connect on a machine. It is connected to a Microsoft Peer-to-Peer network. There are Plain DOS, Windows 95 and this OS/2 machine in my network. I'm currently using NetBEUI as protocol, but I'd like to switch to IPX/SPX. Is it possible to use OS/2 Peer with IPX/SPX in a Microsoft network ?

Do you think 'IBM DCE for OS/2' could be a solution? It's a more distributed system than LAN Server itself and had a long time in the market.

RR> The only reason I have '95 on any of my machines, is so I have RR> something to delete when I'm bored :) I ran across some software from Danware Data, called NetOp. It's cross platform remote control software. You can control a Win95 machine from your OS/2 box, or vice versa. They have NetOp for OS/2, and NetOp for Windows.. letsee... the OS/2 version contains Host and Guest modules for OS/2 1.3, 2.x, and Warp. The NetOp for Windows, contains modules for Windows 3.x, 95, and NT. You can get a demo of these files that will expire after a time, and from hat I remember, they weren't that cheap..err inexpensive. I found them on the internet, but don't remember the URL. The 800 number on the disks is 800-675-0729. Sorry, I can't tell you if they worked as advertised, cause I never got a chance to use them before they expired.

I'm just wondering about the validity and workability of the following setup ... 4 computers, all with TCP/IP 3.0 installed and ethernet cards ... Computer 1 as a file/print server Computer 2 has a T1/ISDN/dedicated dialup (whichever I can afford) to an ISP Computer 3 has dialup modems for my BBS Computer 4 is a "work" machine Computers are connected via TCP/IP through the ethernet cards probably like this: Computer 4 -------- Computer 1 --------- Computer 3 ---- outside lines - | | Computer 2 | | Internet What I'm wondering is, with that type of setup, can Computer 4 send/receive e-mail, ftp from ftp sites, and surf the WWW? Would it be better to just install IBM Peer/2, with TCP/IP on just Computer Would it be better to have Computer 2 as the file/print server, and have Computer 4 and Computer 3 connect to Computer 2? Just trying to get some idea of how I'd go about setting this up if I ever decided to. ;) Thanks in advance.
