RE: !OS/2, Client Access, Novell 4.1 and the AS/400

Dear Chuck,

Praim is a manufacturer of IBM system peripherals (terminals, PC emulation 
cards, printer interfaces, etc.). For this reason, we are a member of the IBM 
Partners in Development program. A few months ago we had some questions about 
Client Access and 5250 emulation running under OS/2. We received from IBM some 
information about which manuals to view on the www which describe in great 
detail the steps to follow to insure that Client Access will perform properly 
under OS/2.

If you could let us know which release of OS/2 you are running, we can send you 
back via e-mail the IBM publication references that might help explain or solve 
your current difficulties.

/Paul

Hello All,

We have a number of OS/2 PC's that run a software package used by our
R&D group that runs in an OS/2 full screen (is that the correct
terminology ?). We also run Client Access for OS/2 with PC5250 and
attach to the AS/400 via frame relay and a WAN. These PC's also attach
to a Novell 4.1 server. They are also running MS Office and MS Mail.

Our problems:

1) On some, but NOT all, and not all of the time, we get a REQ 0815
error.

2) On some, but NOT all, and not all of the time, when they go into
Windows (Word, Excel, etc) or E-mail, it starts dumping TONS of garbage
print jobs without the user telling anything to print - just STARTING
these applications.

We use a "default configuration" so ALL PC's are configured the SAME way with 
the same software (from the LAN, dft cfgs for Windows and OS/2) so we are 
REALLY baffled by this.

Additionally, does any have any trouble getting OS/2 support from IBM ?

SORRY for all of the questions, but we are getting our BUTTS chewed f9or
not getting this solved... ;-)

Thanks !
