The Philadelphia OS/2 User Group invites all interested computer users to
attend the May monthly meeting:
  
.             ***  MAY 22nd MEETING AGENDA  ***
.         --  OS/2 CONNECTION TO CABLE OR DSL  --
  
A very special treat, which many folks have asked for, has been scheduled
for the May meeting: Everything you want to know about connecting OS/2 to
broadband cable or DSL internet service.
  
If you surf the Web, you have two ways to do it -- fast or slow! Fast
requires a cable or DSL modem and a network-ready computer. This month,
Vadim and David will take all the mystery out of it and show you exactly
how to do it, step by step. They will take you on a tour of OS/2
Networking, including everything you need to know to install, setup and
surf the Internet at the highest possible speed. Yes, it's technical, but
do it once and you're done. Step by step instructions, hardware
recommendations, and the answers to your questions.
  
Want the technical details?  This is just a partial list:
1. The layered architecture of MPTS (multi-protocol transport
   services), and an overview of INI files that control MPTS. 2. NDIS/2
network adapter driver and transport encapsulation
   (Ethernet, TokenRing, ATM); loading config.sys adapter drivers. 3.
Protocol drivers for TCP/IP, NETBEUI, other protocols; loading
   protocol drivers in protocol.ini and binding to NDIS drivers. 4. Basic
TCP/IP configuration; SETUP.CMD versus TCPCFG2.CMD. 5. Basic NETBIOS
configuration: machine name, starting services;
   ibmlan.ini file.
6. Networking and installable file systems.
7. What does it cost (including hardware, and high speed
   recommendations).
  
As time permits, we will cover some hardware recommendations for folks who
don't have a network ready computer. We'll also cover hubs and switches
and a brief intro to firewalls.
  
Other agenda items include U/G business items, OS/2 news, new releases,
Q&A session and raffles. The usual free refreshments will also be
available.
  
Mark the date and time: Wednesday, May 22nd at 7:00pm.
OS/2 meetings are open and free for OS/2 users, their guests
and others interested in learning about OS/2 and associated
technologies. We have a very full agenda, so also please try
to be on time promptly by 7:00pm.
