Re: OS/2 MWave 2.0 & Vmodem

I too wish to thank the more knowledgeable for this bit of trivia.  I had
recently reinstalled with OS/2 Warp Connect w/HPFS and FP17,
experiencing the same COMW errors.  Thank you!

While I'm typing, I'll add something I did to avoid hitting enter
on boot up, when I'm not attached to the network.  On my system,
there were two lines in CONFIG.SYS I commented...

  REM CALL=D:\OS2\CMD.EXE /Q /C D:\MPTN\BIN\MPTSTART.CMD
  REM CALL=D:\IBMCOM\PROTOCOL\NETBIND.EXE

This got rid of the "hit enter" when I boot disconnected from the
network card.  I moved the NETBIND call to the MPTSTART.CMD file, and
added a entry on my toolbar to run the MPTSTART.CMD when I needed it.
So from home I run slip, and at the office on my Dock II I run
MPTSTART.CMD.
