   Gidday.

   Now that I (at last!) have upgraded to TCP/IP 1.2.1 with the kind
   assistance of the people on this group, I have a new problem.

   Does anyone have/know about an OS/2 NDIS driver for the Isolan 4110-3
   card? It's in an MCA machine (PS/2 55sx with 8MB) and the local agents
   don't have a clue what I'm talking about. Unfortunately, I don't have
   much of a clue either.

   Any help would be appreciated. (They want to use Ethernet like me,
   rather than SLIP and I don't blame them.)

   P.S. Is there a CSD for the Xwindows module? That focus problem is a
   real pain and I recently had to kill the xterm on the Unix box to do
   anything with it.

There is an OS/2 NDIS driver in the latest drivers disk set (v. 3.10).
Unfortunately, it is dated May 1991, so I do not know if it works with 2.0.

The Norwegian distributor, after I have been pestering him for months for
a working ODI driver for OS/2 2.0, tells me that :

a) 3Com has stopped production of the BICC cards since their recent takeover
b) 3Com has stopped further driver development for BICC cards

So, no working ODI driver for OS/2 2.0 ( for Netware and OS/2 coexistence),
probably no other modern working drivers either.
(There is a working ODI for MSDOS, however, though only for 16-bit cards)

Which leaves us, a 100 % BICC installation, somewhere out in the cold.

Buy new cards? Yes, probably over time.
Buy new 3Com cards, you said? No, sir !
