We do not have Optus cable in this area and I already have Telstra/Foxtel cable TV. ADSL looks much more costly. I can remember last year reading of the java front end, but that site it seems has disappeared. Ed Durrant, if you are reading this would you point my nose in the right direction please......or Paul Smedley if your alternate-to-java front end was successful. I wish to use my OS/2 box as the gateway and have two win boxes in the lan. The firewall I can manage... the problem is I know nothing of the Cable setup ( I have Ian Pilkington's pictures) with OS/2 and what to tell the technician. If it helps I can boot this OS/2 box into Win98se.

The stupid legal people were saying that the charity had to buy *new* licences before they donate the systems to the worthy causes (mainly individuals) that they supply. Gad how stupid! And YET people still buy their stuff!

Sydney ?? Melbourne ?? If it's Sydney, the simplest thing might be for you to come by and see it all in operation and leave with the code you need (It'll go very easily on one floppy disk if you already have the firewall/NAT sitaution sorted out). If not Sydney, I'm happy to go through it all again, perhaps off list as most on this list have heard it at least 3 times ! Cheers/2 Ed.

The hardware checks out OK. I have deleted and reloaded the driver and it is on the correct LPT port. When a document is printed, the file appears in the printer job status window but then disappears almost as quickly, probably becoming more dust under the mobo. Its almost as if it has leaked out of the system somewhere. In the dark recesses of my mind I think I have seen this before but can't recall what it is. Any clues guys? -- Leigh Bunting Colonel Light Gardens South Australia Find out more about Col.

Orrr, your using a Bi-Di driver with a standard LPT port. Cheers Ian B Manners http://www.os2site dot com/ Outside a photographer's studio: OUT TO LUNCH: IF NOT BACK BY FIVE, OUT FOR DINNER ALSO
