Since there has been discussion about the Home & Away,
it's "okay". The modem part works well, but I have yet to try
the LAN part, though OS/2 seems to work with the supplied
driver (tip - If your home & away is defective, call IBM. They
shipped my the whole box complete with updated drivers
and manuals!!!).
I also hear that 3COM makes good products with OS/2 support.
They're expensive, but tech support is friendly, and they have a
lifetime warranty on all their products.
Do any OS/2 users on here know a lot about networking? I am having
problems with MPTS letting me configure my Home & Away (though the
driver seems to initilise the card okay).
Later,
Paul
