Hi all!

A few things here.

1) What is the last fixpack for OS/2 Warp 3 connect and where can I
get it from?

Try ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/ps/products/os2/fixes/v3.0warp/

2) I am having trouble finding decent instructions on how to install a fixpack from hard drive. Does anyone ha a pointer to a set of DECENT instructions as to how to go about accomplishing this task?

There is something like FASTKICK or so... I'm not at my OS/2 system so I cannot
check...

Try ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/ps/products/os2/fixes/v3.0warp/

Or try Hobbes OS/2.
I may have it too, but I'll have to check that. Never used it though.

There is a very nice program named 'QF121.ZIP'. That's the latest I have

It unpacks the different diskette images from the CD to the HD, and
works from there. I have used that on several occasions/machines.

I did check if I had any Warp 3 fixpaks, but fgound only very early ones
on Hobbes OS/2 CD's. IIRC they went up to agout 35, so FP-35 would maybe
be the latest.

Is your board reachable via Telnet by any chance?

Sorry no, I haven't wanted to limit access to the private phone line.

you don't have to with DSL... both POTS and DSL ride on the same copper... they're in different frequency bands and don't interfere with each other... there is also a DSL splitter that ensures that each band is not accessible on the other side... being fully connected is a whole new world almost like getting a computer for the first time or starting to program the computer and discovering the whole entire world within it...

i don't know about that but i regularly assist folks over there with the firewall i support and DSL stuffs...

I'd love an ISDN line for the BBS but CenturyLink wants $300 a month

no, you really don't want ISDN these days... the charges for calls outside your
ranges are especially expensive... but if you really have to have ISDN then get your local utilities commision involved and get them to make the telcos charge the same rates for them that they do for a single POTS line... that's only two numbers at most 64k each but more likely 56k due to bit robbing by the
telco to get another connection or two out of the bits they've stolen...

but seriously, ISDN cannot hold a candle to DSL... i've got 3Meg down 768K up here for only $40/month (IIRC)... ISDN is only 64k in each direction plus the metered range charges... one of my client ran up a $40000 bill for one month calling from southern pines to raleigh because they insisted on having it connecting even though metered distance charges were involved... if they had been able to wait a week for the local connection to come online, they would not have had anything more than their base bill of $100 to deal with...

i don't understand what a UART has to do with DSL... DSL connects to a ""modem"" which connects to a NIC (network interface card) with an RJ45 connector... no UART involved... perhaps you are mixing up UART with an internal-to-the-laptop NIC???

Good day Mark,

Well, that was more than four years ago.

personally speaking, i wouldn't be using wifi... it is insecure,
easily penetrated and highly suceptible to interference from
electrical sources...

I've had no problems since I started using it in december.
OTOH, I'm not connected except when I have to receive or send something.

AVG and ZoneAlarm are working in the background when the machines are on

I won't even mention it being slower than wired or fiber...

I accept the speed I get on the 3G WiFi.

i don't know what the cost of DSL is over there but my
3M/768k line is only $40US... that's copper for a mile or so where
it connects into a DSLAM and jumps to fiber for the long haul...

I don't have the price list for DSL or fiber, but the SMALL WiFi costs
me about $16 US a month.

There are five classes, XSMALL, SMALL, MEDIUM, LARGE 4G and XLARGE 4G.
They differ in speed :2Mbit/s_Full 3G_Full 3G__Full 4G_____Full 4G
and allowed data amount:250Mb__ 20Gb____50GB____100Gb_______Unlimited
The allowed data amount is per month.

$40US a month for a hobby plus additional capabilities is much less
than some people spend in a week on their hobbies...

Yes, but all depends on the thickness of your wallet.
