Hi to all, I'm running Warp, and have installed "IBM Internet Connection for OS/2" from the bonuspack CD-rom. I've been having no end of problems. Now, to start off, I have _NO_ previous experience with the internet. I have an account with OzEmail here in Cairns that I got a day or so ago. I have accessed this account quite sucessfully using Netscape (windows 3.1) but windows won't let it run error free above 19200 baud. As I have a 38400 I'm not impressed, also it means that I have to reboot to windows so as to use the internet. Now OS2 will happily use the modem at 38400, using a terminal program and also Binkley, and after some fiddling I worked out what the script should be. So far so good. Now for the problem. I can connect, "slip", username then password. It tells me what my IP address is (whatever that means), then tells me that I have a SLIP connection and to press "CTRL C" or "CTRL Break" to exit, BUT when I try to use the browser it locks the computer for about 8 seconds then tells me that "Explore has stopped responding to system requests" and so I kill it. If on the other hand I go for Gopher then after about 20-30 seconds it says that it can't find the address and that it got no data back. What am I doing wrong here? Please help! I've now got the bug and can't exercise it :) --- FleetStreet 1.14 NR* Origin: The Northern Extreme.
