Subj: OS/2 Warp V3 Question

 Hi, I am new to the world of OS/2 and found two versions of OS/2 Warp Version 
3. One is regular OS/2 Warp Version 3 nothing special. But the other version
im looking at is OS/2 Warp Verion 3 Connect. What is so special about the
Connect part.
 
 I also was wondering the compatibility with my hardware with that version of
OS/2... Im also having problems with config.sys, where it wants me to to put
IBM compatible Keyboard and what not. (Installation is a pain when config.sys
isnt set right.)

Subj: TelnetPM

I guess I'm just stupid, but I can't figure out how to download files with
OS/2's TelNetPM program.  It has been a few years since I've used a BBS type
program.  It doesn't look like there are any transfer protocols in TelNet.  So 
I would appreciate any help.
Thanks,
Sam

Subj: OS/2 Warp 4 and Soundblaster

I have a soundblaster AWE 32 PnP.  After finally getting Warp 4 installed
on an old 166, I can't get it to load up the sound drivers (or the
ATI Mach 32 drivers).  When I boot up, I get these messages:

SYS1201: The device driver c:\MMOS2\AUDIOVDD.SYS SBAUD1$ specified in the
DEVIC statement on line 142 of the CONFIG.SYS file was not installed.
Line 142 is ignored.

also, I'll get the same message, but it will be with one of the soundblaster
drivers (I've tried them all, and none of them work.)  At the moment I'm just
going to leave it on the Soundblaster original driver (sbd2.sys).

If anyone could help, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Thanks,
Austin Stamper

Warp Connect was a larger version that includes much networking software for
Lans etc. Previous versions used Communication Manager and that is no longer
needed with Warp Connect. Warp 4.0 has all the network software included and
will replace Warp Connect.

Note, a more complete version of this information is available at:

   http://www.os2bbs.com/docs/access-details-telnet.html

Transferring files through a telnet session requires a telnet client
that can transfer files.  You can use either a comm program that
natively supports telnet sessions (see reference to ZOC, TE/2, and
HyperAccess/5 below) or you can use Ray Gwinn's SIO/Vmodem package to
telnet-enable any comm program.  The current version of ZOC, the
recent release of TE/2, and HyperAccess/5 version 6 all support telnet
natively.

COMM PROGRAMS AS TELNET CLIENTS
There are many programs that can act as telnet clients.  For OS/2, have
a look at ZOC (ZOC213.ZIP as of February 1996) or CKermit (CKO191.ZIP as
of July 1995), TE/2, HyperAccess/5 version 6, Live Wire, and PM Comm.
ZOC provides a full-featured comm program with the additional ability of
natively connecting via a telnet session. Ckermit allows file transfers
through telnet connections and includes the Kermit file transfer
protocol as well as the ability to add external file transfer protocols.

TE/2 in its latest release supports telnet natively as does
HyperAccess/5 version 6, Live Wire, Live Wire PM 3.2+, and PM Comm.

There are likely many other good methods for connecting and transferring
files through a telnet session.  If you have a good one to add, please
email it to me at pnorloff@os2bbs.com.

VIRTUAL MODEM
Virtual Modem allows you to use a regular communications program to
connect via a telnet session through the Internet.  You load a driver
that connects a com port (communications, or serial port) to your
Internet-accessing software so characters sent from your communications
program are sent out your Internet connection.  This lets you use your
familiar communications program to access the Internet.  Virtual Modem
(VMODEM), is part of the SIO communications drivers by Ray Gwinn, a $25
shareware program.  (It is available for download on the BBS or via the
web server at http://www.os2bbs.com)

Follow the instructions to use VMODEM, but basically: install the
SIO.COM in your CONFIG.SYS file, specifying the appropriate com port
to use for vmodem.  Boot the computer.  Enter <vmodem> from the
command line.  Start your communications program and set it to use
the com port you specified in CONFIG.SYS.  Type <atdt> and the
Internet address to connect to.  For example <atdt bbs.os2bbs.com>
or <atdt 204.194.180.10> will connect you to The OS/2 Shareware BBS.
<at?> will give you vmodem help.

Warp connect includes a full TCP/IP stack for use on a network and it also
includes full networking support.  If you don't have a network of your own,
there's no practical difference between the two products.

I'm not sure what you're looking for here.  Is there a problem installing the
operating system or are you just looking for a place to feed the installation
procedure information about your system the way Windows does?
