On a whim, I installed OS/2 2.1 on a P1 system last night (Hint: it
helps to have a multi-boot setup with a network-capable OS on one
partition--saves a lot of floppy work).
I could get MS Lanman for OS/2 working okay, but then I ran into a
problem--it seems that FreeTCP and most browsers for OS/2 say "Warp 3
or later". And getting a browser-suitable TCP/IP stack seems to be
no small issue. IBM Web explorer seems to want Warp as well.
Lanman has a TCP/IP stack of sorts, but it's undocumented and
apparently used only for NetBEUI protocol. The only TCP/IP program
that uses it seems to be the "ping" packaged with Lanman.
Has anyone ever gotten a browser to work on 2.1 over an ethernet
TCP/IP connection? If so, how?
Thanks,
Chuck
