You are making already 3 serious conditions to begin with:

1. The user must be "familiar" with  OS/2 tcp/ip,  a prerequisite  in 
which no simple human being can be fitted.  And this condition alone 
excludes  the regular Windy user from even to think to purchase eCS.
2. If condition 1 fullfilled, then you must be able to translate the 
Windy instructions into the "familiar" OS2 TCP/IP affairs.
3. And last but not least, the Windy manual must be clear enough to 
allow a translation.

Did any of you tell me first thing to do is to disable dhcp in the 
routiers server? Albeit the fact I told in my 3 initial messages I still 
was using ISDNPM, did any of you  tell to uninstall ISDNPM?

So, sorry, but as a whole it's beyond the scope of simple human beings. 
Information is scattered all over here and there, and it is a hell of a 
business to put it all together.

We badly need a limpid and clearcut manual. And not only, or maybe most 
of all, in other than the English language. Otherwise eCS will be 
restricted to the happy few and hence loose it's already small position 
in the marketplace.

For sure it is not in your intrest, but I give you my money back 
guarantee by making all these prerequisites you won't be able to sell 
one sole copy of eCS.

And isn't selling the product all what it is about in the marketplace? 
Me thinks it is. :-)
