The shareware version of SIO.SYS only supports four ports. You may need to purchase the additional ports version of SIO to use COM5 and COM6, even though they are "virtual" ports. * KWQ/2 1.2i * Internet: John.Thompson@ibm.net --- Silver Xpress Mail System 5.4P1a * Origin: TeLnEt tO: applegate.com, a BBS oN tHE iNterNET (1:139/631) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 273 OS/2 INTERNET Ref: F3E00000 Date: 03/06/98 From: LAWRENCE LUCIER Time: 09:19am \/To: ALAN HESS (Read 2 times) Subj: Vmodem FS> rem Set the LOCAL LOOPBACK address ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1 AH>> Is this a .cmd file you place in the startup folder , an entry in startup.cmd, Look in your \tcpip\bin directory and you will see that ifconfig is actually an executable file (ifconfig.exe) so you can run it just as you would any other executable file; that is, from an OS/2 command line, cmd file, REXX file etc. For more information on ifconfig.exe (and tcp/ip functions in general) type "view kdvl2mst.inf" at an OS/2 command line ( the file kdvl2mst.inf is located in the \tcpip\doc directory on my Warp 3 system here). AH>> or an entry in config.sys? Yeppers, it can also be run from a config.sys entry but you have to use the following syntax: RUN=\tcpip\bin\ifconfig.exe lo 127.0.0.1 up Note! Replace with the drive letter where you have tcp/ip installed. You can also set a localhost entry in the hosts file(s) which are located in the \tcpip\etc and \tcpip\dos\etc directories.

Well Andy, Seems to me that....If you have ICQ going for WIN/95 then install java 1.1.4 for OS/2 and the JAVAICQ for os2 there would not be a canflict. You are correct about trying to use the WIN/95 or even the 3.1 version if you have previously installed the win/95 version. :{) Thanks for your response.
