KL> Since ibm.net has been sold to at&t I have a question. I went with
KL> ibm.net as an isp since they seemed the logical choice for an OS/2
KL> user. I went to the download page of at&t (directed to it by the
KL> notice from ibm.net) and looked to see if there was an OS/2 version of
KL> their connection software. If there is something other than winX, or
KL> Mac software there I cannot see it. Is there a good ISP to be had out
KL> there that supports OS/2?
I don't understand this problem. ISP's don't "support" operating
systems, they provide an Internet connection service through a clearly
defined interface. Does AT&T provide neither a SLIP nor PPP connection
capability? If not, what do they use as an alternative? Do they use a
login handshaking protocol other than PAP or CHAP? If so, what do they
use? Is there some reason why a scripted login will not work? Does AT&T
not understand or pass TCP/IP packets. If not, what packet and
addressing protocols do they use? I've had nothing but minor problems
using SlipPM to log into and use any ISP so far. What's the schtick with
AT&T?
TIA.
