Ok I've heard of hpfs386, so would someone be kind enough to explain what

Hi,
Following Ian Manner's suggestion about power consumption of
motherboard's et-al, I'd be interested in people's comments on using the
following as a PPPoE gateway with delegate http/dns/socks proxy running
on it.

Any experience or URL's for documents for the components would be
welcome.

Motherboard:
ASUS VL/I-486SV2GX4 with Intel DX2-66 256k cache

IDE controller:
Promise DC4030VL-1 VL caching (cool hey!).

NICs
Intel EtherExpress 16TP
3Com 3c509B-TPO

Video:
ISA VGA

HDD:
Whatever I've got lying around, matched to the IDE controller specs.

Subject: Re: [os2genau] RIPLing workstations

Daryl,

  The RIPL function is not a function of the Base OS but rather
the server code. RIPL has been possible for many years now. I
can't remember the Lan Server version number, but I know I RIPLed
systems from OS/2 LAN Server back in the days of OS/2 v1.3.

  Both DOS and OS/2 can be easily RIPLed from an OS/2 Server. To
RIPL a Windows OS, you're probably best going to the Workspace
On-Demand pakage, which also gives you all the neccessary
management utilities. If you don't want to go with WSoD, another
alternative is Network Station Manager. This "RIPL"s diskless
workstations or IBM Network Stations in an X-Windows like 
environment, purely using TCP/IP as the network protocol.

  If you need some help, let me know. I have already done all 
this and ACTUALLY DOCUMENTED (hardcopy) what I did (some of the 
instructions for the individual pacakges leave room for
interpretation).

HPFS386 is an Option with Warp Server Advanced only (not OS/2 client).

It is the 32 Bit version of HPFS which allows Network security to be
better implemented on files on an OS/2 server. It also has performance
advantages such as a larger cache size option.

I have set up a new mailing list at Yahoo Groups to allow discussions of

It's not the cabling as I can use the same cables I am using with the ISA card at present, 
and they work fine.

Then it's possibly a driver issue.

Does OS/2 (Peer to Peer) networking work - is it only Lantastic

Hi Peter,

/* Begin "People are still using Lantastic line" */

Sounds like the requester part is working but not the peer.
Requester allows access to network resources & the peer shares local
resources on the LAN.

Hope this gives you some ideas.
Would be something in protocol.ini
This is an old network technology, so, yes, there could be compatibility
problems with new hardware, sorry.
Have you upgraded your hub to 100MB?
What was wrong with the Intel EtherExpress 16?
(if it ain't broke, don't fix it)

/* End "People are still using Lantastic line" */

I'm just about to use an Intel EtherExpress 16 ISA card on my LAN...

Card's default packet size ?? ee if you can compare protocol.ini
settings for the working and non-working cards. Is there anything
obviously different ?  Perhaps the packet size in use on the new
card on the server is larger than the packet size the card on the
DOS workstation can handle ?

Also have you tried using the new card in the DOS workstation
rather than the server to see if the problem "reverses" ?
