I'm doing some research into the purchase of a new internal modem. My external modem is starting to slow a bit and may die anytime. My son (who should know better, but runs M$) uses an internal modem and blandly states that "....there are no internal modem that aren't Winmodems. Face it Dad, you have an outdated OS..." Not one to run away from a challenge, I went to Dick Smit's at Cannington (W.A.), and after seeing their range, I asked that the modem be Hayes Compatible and be able to operate on an open COM port with an initialisation string and no M$ software. To emphaise this, I said that I was not interested in a winmodem (note the lack of uppercase). After some searching they said they had an "Intel HAM" internal modem that was PCI, and Hayes Compatible. I thought I'd run that by you all, and see if anyone has heard of it. If not, are there any suggestions for other makes that are not super-expensive, and will outlast a winmodem? Or have I bitten off more than I can chew? :-) Regards NICK -- ----------------------------------------------------------- nickl at arach dot net dot au ----------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- **= Email 3 ==========================** Date: Fri, 04 Oct 2002 19:05:27 +1000 (EST) From: "Chris Graham [WarpSpeed]" Subject: [os2genau] Joke: Dr Seuss explains PC crashes Dr. Seuss explains PC crashes If a packet hits a pocket on a socket on a port, And the bus is interrupted at the very last resort, And the access of the memory makes your floppy disk abort, Then the socket packet pocket has an error to report. If your cursor finds a menu item followed by a dash, And the double-clicking icon puts your window in the trash, And your data is corrupted cause the index doesn't hash, Then your situation's hopeless and your system's gonna crash!! If the label on the cable on the table at your house, Says the network is connected to the button on your mouse, But your packets want to tunnel to another protocol, That's repeatedly rejected by the printer down the hall, And your screen is all distorted by the side effects of gauss, So your icons in the window are as wavy as a souse; Then you may as well reboot and go out with a bang, Cause sure as I'm a poet, the sucker's gonna hang! When the copy of your floppy's getting sloppy in the disk, And the macro code instructions cause unnecessary risk, Then you'll have to flash the memory and you'll want to RAM your ROM. Quickly turn off the computer and be sure to tell your Mom! -Chris WarpSpeed Computers - The Graham Utilities for OS/2.

The other point is that some winmodems have OS/2 support. Lucent chip based ones for instance. But you have to be careful as you say. Its very rare that I even consider a modem these days, I got so used to network meaning the ethernet connection that goes to mt firewall (OS2) and on to my Broadband cable connection.

Works great with my cheap OfficeONE keyboard. If you are on Warp 4 CP2, the standard mouse driver includes support for scroll mice. Cheers/2 Ed.

Hi: Is anyone using Jalbum under OS/2 (http://www.datadosen.se/jalbum/) ?? I'd love to use this program. I am using it now under Windoze. I can't seem to get the OS/2 version to install/run. I suspect newer JAVA is required. I have WARP 4 with the latest "free" Java I believe. Do I need Software Choice &/or ECS ? Thanks for any help.
