Sorry for the late reply, had some hardware issues on the Thinkpad. The original drive died so I replaced with a flash card. The Xircom dongle also seems to be defective. I installed on a Windows 98 laptop and got the drivers installed but was getting inconsistent pings at the slightest touch of the dongle.

@Martin - I downloaded the drivers you posted, need to get a dongle to test. Thank you.

Question: Do I need to install IBM Peer for OS/2 or IBM LAN Requester 4.0 to access shares on my NAS?

This bring me back to where I'm at now:

1. OS/2 Warp 3 installed
2. PCMCIA Support NOT installed (thank you Richard)
3. Installed Xircom REM56G-100 card -> cem56_100 drivers - https://www.os2site.com/sw/drivers/laptop/cem56_100.zip
4. Configured card using Steven's settings
-Adapter memory address: D100
-Adapter IO address: 320
-Adapter IRQ: 10
-PC Card Slot: 2
-Emulate COM port 1 - 4: No
-Modem and Network share IRQ: Yes
-Enable verbose messages: Yes
5. Ping router address -> success
6. Ping www.os2world.com -> success

Be careful with LIBPATH, likely it installed itself early in LIBPATH, move it to the end.
For VACPP, I use a script instead of letting it mess with config.sys, might be best to do the same.
I'll attach my script to give ideas. You should revert your config.sys to before you installed it and keep the new one under a different name so you know what you need.
Edit: Also note the use of the Toolkit and that some of it is installed by YUM or ANPM

Programming / VisualAge COBOL 2.2 on ArcaOS or Warp 4.52

Has anyone installed VA COBOL on ArcaOS or Warp 4.52?

It seems the SOM objects have a problem - after a reboot, I get an error from PROTSHELL at startup and OS/2 crashes.

If I move VACOBOL to the end of the SOM path, it gets further, but still crashes.

Hi
On the other hand, I cannot find anywhere a driver CE2NDIS.OS2.
FYI: I found  a version here. (1994-10-05) and other here (1994-06-17)

Marc, you are saying that you are using XIRCOM card CE2 but you have installed driver CE3NDIS.OS2.

Are you sure that is the correct driver for your card ? On the other hand, I cannot find anywhere a driver CE2NDIS.OS2.

Anyway, the driver that Steve has suggested (the point enabled driver) is here:
https://archive.org/download/Xircom/Xircom.zip

Many years ago I ran this card on a 770X.  I never could get the supposedly Card Services compliant CE2NDIS.OS2 driver to work so I used the point enabled XPSNDIS.OS2 driver.

I had other cards that worked with Card Services, so, unlike Richard, I ran with Card Services installed and setup Card Services to ignore the slot the Xircom was plugged into.

Here are my notes of the relevant CONFIG.SYS and PROTOCOL.INI entries

=== Overview ===

Using point-enabled in upper slot
Using IRQ 10

=== config.sys ===

REM Xircom uses IRQ 10
BASEDEV=RESERVE.SYS /IRQ:10 /MEM:D100,1000 /IO:320,20

REM Ignore upper slot - point enabled by Xircom
BASEDEV=IBM2SS14.SYS /IG0=1

REM -> Xircom PSCE2 9-11-97 v2.50
DEVICE=F:\IBMCOM\MACS\XPSNDIS.OS2

=== protocol.ini ===

[xpsos2_nif]

  DRIVERNAME = XIRCOM$
  IOADDRESS = 0x320
  INT = 10
  MEM = 0xD100
  NOEARLYRX
  VERBOSE

Hi Mark,

I know from experience that the 3C589D drivers are very buggy so you did the right thing to swap to a Xircom. I've got a few Xircom PCMCIA and CardBus cards and have never had problems with OS/2 Warp Connect with them.

They definitely don't need any additional PCMCIA card/socket drivers so you definitely want to make sure that all of that is uninstalled (disabled might not be enough).

Fire-up Selective Install and make sure PCMCIA support looks like the photo below. This is how I have it on my IBM ThinkPad 390X with a Xircom R2BE-100BTX and you can see it's pinging away quite merrily over TCP/IP.

Make sure too that you're using exactly the right driver for your Xircom PCMCIA or CardBus NIC. They have very similar model names but the right drivers aren't interchangable. For example the driver for an RBE won't work for an R2BE and vice versa.

Best,
Richard.

Thanks for the feedback CalYY.

I agree that "/pub/os2/apps/filetransfer" may be too general and maybe it got too big. But I don't want to go back to "/pub/os2/internet/". "Internet" was too general, at the 90's it made sense, but now almost everything is on the internet or connected to the internet.

Maybe a good solution will be to go with "/pub/os2/apps/filetransfer/ftp" ,  "/pub/os2/apps/filetransfer/torrent", etc.

Thoughts?

Regards

Yes to ftp client access on Hobbes. Use ftp daily.  As for organization could be improved. Example: ftp client/server
/pub/os2/server/ftp has servers while ftp client is under /pub/os2/apps/filetransfer/

/filetransfer could mean netbios, serial and parallel port connections, file managers, remote control apps. Not descriptive.

Better would be /pub/os2/internet/ftp with /client and /server directories below. os2site.com has similar. More logical
