I seem to recall using Mosaic and Netscape for Windoze under 2.1's Windows
environment with Winsock over dialup... Cello also worked (see
http://browsers.evolt.org/archive/cello/16bit/cellofaq.zip) since it had
it's own integral TCP/IP stack, but again I think that was Windows code not
native OS/2. Pretty sure WebExplorer in Warp was the first native
browsers... you might motivate me to fire up my P1 166mhz box and see what
works if you're not careful! :)
Based on the FAQ Cello might work best, it says it works best over a hard
wired connection...
Regards,
Gord

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
