Topic Description
As Novell has discontinued development of the OS/2 NetWare Requester
while moving forward with newer releases of the NetWare operating
system, something of a "how-to" void has been created among users of
both of these systems. This 90-minute presentation shall attempt to
address many of the concerns users and administrators have when dealing
with the two operating systems on the same wire.
Topics to be addressed include:
- Current state of the OS/2 NetWare Requester, including an overview
of the latest patches available
- Installation & configuration of the requester on an OS/2 or eCS
workstation, with an eye toward potential traps & pitfalls
- Techniques for automatic & semi-automatic login, including
wireless options
- Survey of OS/2 functionality under different versions of NetWare
from 3.12 through 6.5
- Managing NetWare servers from OS/2 stations: what's possible &
what isn't
- Printing under NetWare (traditional vs NDPS configurations)
- Workstation backup options in a NetWare environment
- Newer NetWare client functionality under OS/2 (iPrint, iFolder,
etc.): what works? how?
- A new NetWare client? Can this be done?
- Support options

the first OS/2 workstation OS rolled out in his accounting & systems
integration firm of Rosenthal & Rosenthal. His experience with NetWare

He earned his CNA on NetWare 4.11 in 1998, a second CNA in NetWare 6 in

NetWare networks. In late 2003, Rosenthal & Rosenthal formed a strategic
alliance with Angel Wireless, Inc. to deploy managed Wi-Fi hotspots in
the Long Island, NY area.
As the maintainer of the OS/2 Wireless Networking mailing list & as an
IT consultant, Lewis has not only gleaned some useful experience
planning, implementing, and maintaining wireless LANs and LAN segments,
but he has also had access to some very knowledgeable people in the area
of OS/2 and wireless networking.
