Stocky, are you using one of these video cards? Email me back & I'll post it to the list if you can comment. I'm using an ISA SupraExpress, see if you can get a PCI modem, but it *must* use the Lucent Venus chipset. It is a hardware modem, with high i/o IRQ address but there is a com driver available for OS/2. Internal modems are nice & neat but if they latch-up, (electrical noise on the PSTN line, for example), you have to cold boot your computer. USB would be good, no plug-pack, just the USB lead. If it latches-up just have to unplug the USB lead! Had anyone got a USB modem to work under OS/2? Gavin Miller wrote: > > Hi All, > > How accurate is the Warp3 Sysinfo tool on Warp4?

Glenn had a miserable time with a reinstall on his >cantankerous hardware but went away hoping it would still work when he >got home. Thanks for the intro Leigh ! It didn't :) Up'til now I have been using Warp 4 fp12 and Y2k fixes for tcpip and mpts. Which is pretty far behind in fp's by now, but it has been working. Hardware: ASUS P5AB now with bios revision 1010(current, thanks to Brian at hardware meeting ) 64mb SDRAM 8 gig Seagate hdd P200 Intel mmx Matrox G200 AGP Crystal Tidalwave 128 sound card 8x Mitsumi IDE CD, 1x 1.44mb floppy drive. Software: Warp 4 ddfp1...can't remember, maybe not. Problem 1: without warning tcpip related software, email, newsreader, browser could not find their relarive services on my isp (chariot dot net), but Injoy made usual strong connection. I could ping some sites mostly USA and I could grab news from Stardock & ECS(mensys). Reinstalled using current IDE fix, system is a bit flakey and the internet problem persists until fp12 is reapplied, which also had trouble. Problem 2: Brian - (OS2UGSA Tech/miracle worker) tried updating fp to DDFP2 & FP15. Fixtool 1.43 crashed, sys3175 I think. Re-install with fp15 level code, install dropped out. The old code was mostly stable for nearly 2 years, so I reinstalled using install disks with the IDE fix from Oct '98. The install has worked ok, it appears stable. Am at base Warp 4 and internet services appear ok, still have to re-install Netscape though. The Question: Should I try to apply fp12 or fp15 ? The money, or the gun !?! Sorry for the big message, Ian. Thanks Glenn Thompson. -- ----------------------------------------------------------- tsqatchariot dot net dot au ----------------------------------------------------------- 13================================================ From: "Ian Manners" Date: Tue, 10 Apr 2001 23:33:10 +1000 (EST) Subject: Re: [os2genau] And now for something you'll really like !

You could try without the fixtool, I have instructions on my upgrade page at http://www.os2site dot com/sw/upgrades/ if its not there, look in the upgrade directories, goto the fixpack15 (or 12) directory, and read the install file. Same proceedure also applies to DDFP2. I guess I can rule out the new 80 lead IDE cables causing nightmares, speaks me from first hand experience :-) >The old code was mostly stable for nearly 2 years, so I reinstalled using >install disks with the IDE fix from Oct '98.

Go for FP15, if that doesnt work, you can always restore the archive. >The money, or the gun !?! Live dangerously, take the gun, I'll go hide. >Sorry for the big message, Ian.
