ODINSUP?

I am trying to activate ODINSUP and am having only - ahm - limited
luck.

I am a former user of normal NDIS stack. What I did is to remove
the MAC driver for my (SMC) Ethernet NIC, and change the bindings
to it in PROTOCOL.INI to point at the ODI MLID name. I boot, then
load:

LSL
SMC8000
ODINSUP
NETBIND

All seems to be coming up fine. I even, just for the heck of it (and
to test things, of course..), left DIS_PKT in the NDIS stack. I ran
CUTCP on to of this tall pile - and it worked.

That is the good news.

The bad news is, that my "real" NDIS client, which is IBM's PC/3270
running on top of LAN Support Program V1.23, just won't play ball.
It does work (via DXME0MOD) with the older setup; it just won't connect
in the new setup. Says something about connection failure (COMM 686).

Also on the same vein, I tried to run a Netbios network on top of
all that (DXMT0MOD is the Netbios, Lantastic is the network). I do
it all the time with NDIS, and it works great. Here it would not connect.

Does anyone have any idea where to start? It's kind of confusing, since
the ODI stack works fine (LWP4DOS), even DIS_PKT works fine - just the
IBM LAN Support Program drivers seem to burp.

If anyone has any idea about that, I'd be greatful for their input.
Please E-Mail directly to me.

Thank you!
Doron
