yes, Comm Manager is active;  What is NTS/2?
I have several DOS programs that I have coded, which use the 802.2
 interface; none of them work under OS/2.  My objective is to 
 co-exist with the Comm Manager (using different SAPs); in fact,
 I am trying to drive the Comm Manager (emulating an IBM Host),
 driving the 3270 Emulation in Comm Manager.  So far, even the
 most basic functions like "adapter status" return with error
 (Adapter not active).
