Please help me.  I am unable to bring the OS/2 Lan Manager supplied
with the MS SDK up except in loop back mode.  I have currently installed
a 3COM 3C505 Rev I setup for INT 5, DMA 5, 300H I/O.  I have tried other
settings as well.  I have tried Locator and no Locator.   I currently
have the OS/2 SDK installed on an IBM AT with 100% IBM parts except for
the ethernet card.  I also tried a Compaq386.

The computer hangs while trying to execute the config.sys.  The last
line printed on the screen is from the Sequenced Packet Protocol driver
version 3.0.1.

I have called 3Com several times a day for several days, 
usually for the thrill of listening to a recorded message.

Question 2.  If I do get this software to boot, will I be able to
interoperate with FTP SW NetBIOS/TCP?  How about Excelan or Bridge's
implementation?

Even beta code should boot!
