Hello out there, I'm wondering if someone who's installing networking in
OS/2 can help me out.

I have an OS/2 machine sitting on my desk that for a couple of months was
happy running PC-LAN over token ring (via the token ring drivers).  Now
I want to convert over to ethernet so I can access our TCP/IP network.
So, I grab an ethernet board that has an NDIS driver.  Fine, so far so
good.  I've even figured out how to get protocol.os2 to find protocol.ini
if I move it to another directory (documentation? Ha!)

Now, here's what I'd like to do.  I'd like to run both PC-LAN and TCP/IP
over both the token ring and ethernet.  However, I have no idea how to
tell PC-LAN about the ethernet and I don't know how to tell TCP/IP about
the token ring (It found the ethernet).  I think I can make the ethernet
card a "secondary" adapter by putting a comma (,) in front of the bindings
statement, but I haven't been able to get it to work yet.  Right now,
I'd be happy if I could run PC-LAN over tokenring and run TCP/IP over the
ethernet.  I can even settle for vice versa. As it is, I'm not
doing much of either.  Even if it's just pointers to document names/numbers.

Any help would be appreciated.
