The OS9 system should maintain a LU6.2 session with peer to peer comm unication with the host. Does somebody have experience with connecting an OS9 system to an IBM host or know a supplier of SNA network software and/or hardware for the OS9 system? #: 17943 S6/Applications 20-Apr-93 04:10:19 Sb: #InfoXpress Fm: Mark Griffith 76070,41 To: All Introducing InfoXpress There are a number of communications services, bulletin boards, and other online activities competing for your hard earned money these days. If you want to remain current on the ongoing activities, you must spend long hours at your computer keyboard laboriously logging into each service one-at-a-time. Once there, you either read and reply to the message base online, or figure out some method to download it, then compose your replies offline, only to log in again to upload them. This takes up much of your valuable time. It also costs you money for connect time and, in many cases, long distance charges. You also have the headache of keeping track of who said what on what service and their different usernames or IDs. If you want to keep a history of all the downloaded messages, you need to devise a scheme to do this yourself. Many long time modem users are finding it less and less enjoyable because of these problems. To answer these concerns, Bill Dickhaus, long time Compuserve user and Assistant Sysop, wrote InfoXpress. This software, developed over many years of listening to user complaints and wishes, includes almost every feature you could want in a communications package. InfoXpress allows you the setup your OS-9 or OSK machine to automatically call both Delphi and Compuserve at any time during the day or night, or several times each day. Each time a connection is made, InfoXpress will search through each forum you have previously specified and download all the unread messages. In addition, InfoXpress will grab all your waiting electronic mail, and automatically upload any replies you have made to messages or e-mail from a previous online session. Once your messages are captured, you can view them and create replies using your favorite editor. InfoXpress also keeps track of all the messages it has downloaded and will automatically ``age'' the message database at periodic intervals keeping the most current messages in an active status while archiving the older ones. InfoXpress maintains a separate database of user names for each service and allows you to update it while reading messages, using the currently displayed message header as the source for the information. A log of your online sessions as well as a usage database is also kept allowing you to calculate your online charges. All the features of InfoXpress are fully customizable using any text editor. In addition, all features of Delphi and Compuserve are supported, including Internet addressing and binary mail. In short, InfoXpress is the answer to all the frustrations of online communications. InfoXpress is available exclusively from DccS. To check availability or to get more information, call or write to: The Dirt Cheap Computer Stuff Company 1368 Old Hwy 50 East Union, MO 63084 (314) 583-4692 InfoXpress can be purchased from now until the 2nd of May for 20% off. /************* /\/\ark ************/ There is 1 Reply. #: 17951 S6/Applications 21-Apr-93 04:39:02 Sb: #17943-InfoXpress Fm: Mike Ward 76703,2013 To: Mark Griffith 76070,41 (X) TADA! #: 18373 S6/Applications 02-Jul-93 16:06:31 Sb: #OS 2, v2.0 or 2.1 Fm: Anne Callot 71333,155 To: All Hello!

One major difference is that these systems support multi users as well as multi tasking. Anyhow OS2 - them's fightin words. DOS - them's cuss words.

Is anyone aware of a package that will allow NFM to run on a DOS machine? 2. Is there software available to use TCP/IP on Arcnet? I will not be able to access Compuserve over the next week, so would appreciate any replies being sent via mail.

With NeWLink, you can access Novell (3.11) based PC-Servers from your OS-9 machine with the standard commands (like OS-9 Net). The product is based on a new network technologie, dividing the common netword driver into hardware dependant and independant parts. So you can use TCP/IP, OS-9 Net and Novell IPX protocolls on the same hardware interface simultaneously. Ports are availiable for most of the Ethernet chips on the market (AM7990, I82596...). Next we want to do is porting to the Arcnet chip COM9026. This port should be finished at the end of this year. If you (or someone else) are interrested, send me an email or contact us direct Dr. Rudolf Keil GmbH Gerhart-Hauptmann-Strasse 30 69221 Dossenheim Germany or ask Microware to forward your request.
