Warp on the internet
I just installed warp on my 750 monochrome. So far it is disorienting but
interesting. It seems very mac like, but without the limitations.
Unfortunately, the documentation is minimal: about as bad as windows. I
have it configured with Boot Manager, a 262 meg FAT partition for
DOS/Windows and a 261 meg HPFS partion for OS2. Despite the fact that this
is not their vanilla installation, it was relatively easy to set up.
Probably easier than windows! The seamless windows didn't work right at
first on the mono lcd, but as WT Dunaway suggested, installation of the
1.33 video features disk fixes this. I havn't used it long enough to
comment further, but from the look of things, I may never have to boot dos
again.
Question:
I have installed the internet-access material bundled with the software,
but there is no documentation on linking with a physical ethernet network.
They assume you are completely ignorant, and only document how to connect
to THEIR dial-in SLIP service. I have a 3com 3c589 PCMCIA ethernet card
connected to a straight tcpip network. I assume that I can't use the dos
drivers. What do I need to do to connect the bundled os/2 software to the
card? Tips on where to find good network shareware and freeware would also
be appreciated. Please reply to me directly, and I will "digest" the
responses for the group (let me know if you dont want your name to be
used).
Thanks.
