After asking here about PCMCIA ethernet cards and OS/2, I settled on IBM's Credit Card Adapter II. I've got it running with OS/2 2.1, TCP/IP 2.0 (for OS/2) just fine. To add ethernet functionality to Warp, you can: 1) Wait for and upgrade to the LAN version of Warp due 1Q95, or 2) Buy TCP/IP for OS/2 at about $140 (this gives you ftp and telnet servers if you're specifically looking for those), or 3) Do what the following post says (I haven't tested anything quoted below) -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- From: Howard.Gilbert@yale.edu Newsgroups: comp.os.os2.networking.tcp-ip Subject: Adding LAN TCP/IP to Warp Date: 5 Nov 1994 03:05:49 GMT Organization: Yale University Lines: 44 Message-ID: <39esqd$r1e@news.ycc.yale.edu> Reply-To: Howard.Gilbert@yale.edu NNTP-Posting-Host: remote1-line4.cis.yale.edu X-Newsreader: IBM NewsReader/2 v1.02 Warp is shipped with a number of TCP/IP client programs and all the DLL support. It provides only SLIP transport, but it is compatible with LAN transport available from earlier sources. When the LAN Client version of Warp ships later, it will have all the required code. In the meanwhile... To connect Warp to a LAN, you need two things. You need an NDIS 2 protocol stack to support your LAN card, and you need an IBM TCP/IP NDIS 2 protocol driver. Contrary to several postings on this list, NTS/2 is not enough. NTS/2 (sold separately or bundled with LS 3.0) includes the NDIS 2 stack but does not have the TCP/IP NDIS 2 protocol driver. The protocol driver was shipped separately on the TCPLAPS disk of the OS/2 TCP/IP Base Kit. NTS/2 is slowly being replaced by MPTS/2, an upgraded version that does include TCP/IP support. First, consider getting DEVCON. Cost is $120 (Educational pricing) for a one year subscription with 4 quarterly shipments of CDs. TCP/IP has been on all 5 of the previous DEVCON shipments. Technically, IBM can pull it from the next CD, and then your license to use it would expire. So up to this point this has been a dicy proposition. However, LAN Client will ship in the next quarter (we all hope) and if that is your eventual objective, DEVCON may provide a short term bridge and months of other goodies. If you are poor, then you need a friend. If you can find someone with LAN Server 4.0, you can add a Requestor License on top of his server licence for what appears to be $30. You have to then borrow the disks to install it. There is a claim that DCE Client contains the license at $45, but it is not clear if you get any media. Besides, friends with the DCE SDK are harder to find than friends with LS 4.0 Entry. You can buy MPTS/2 explicitly under the title of Anynet/2. The cost is $130 (with diskettes). If you have this kind of money, the DEVCON approach gets you lots, lots more. ---- Howard Gilbert --Chief Mechanic at PC Lube and Tune Technical training on PC's, networks, and communications.

I can't seem to find his post on my hard drive though. _____________________________________________________________________ |\_____________________________________________________________________\ | | | | | John H.
