	Greetings,

	I am having a reocurring problem while using IBM's
	OS/2 EE 1.2 COMM MGR.
	I have created several *.cfg files to handle various
	protocols and hardware interfaces, i.e. 3270 over
	coax and SDLC, 5250 over SDLC, APPC over SDLC etc.

	I did this by copying the default ACSCFG.CFG file
	to for e.g. APPC.CFG, then used advanced configuration
	to add other features. Everything seemed to work OK.
	Then at one point when I went into advanced configuration
	the boxes that usually appear to let you do things like
	configuration and keyboard remap were not there !!
	First, I used `copy' to backup all my config files.
	I talked to IBM support Level 2 and we used reinst to
	remove the COMM MGR and then reinst to reinstall. We
	made sure to select all options i.e. configuration,
	keyboard remap etc.
	Next, I started over again by copying ACSCFG.CFG to
	APPC.CFG and used advanced config to configure it.
	Again, everything seemed OK, then all of a sudden the
	problem occured again. When I looked at the available 
	capabilities for ACSCFG.CFG they were OK. But all
	my other config files had radically different ones.
	 
	I am totally confused !!!

	Can anyone tell me what I should do to reestablish the
	capabilities of my config files ?
	I don't want delete them and start from scratch because
	it took me weeks to get all these scenario's to work.

	I am running on a COMPAQ 286e with a 40 meg hard drive,
	4 meg of memory and a monochrome display.

	Any help is greatly appreciated.

	Please Email me. I don't always get a chance to read
	the news.

	Thanks again.
