[comp.protocols.tcp-ip.ibmpc] PC TCP/IP support for Token Ring Ad

cortez@ux1.cso.uiuc.edu (12/16/89)

We to have been looking for a way to hook up a IBM PC AT with a IBM TOKEN
RING ADAPTER II to the campus network which consists mainly of Ethernet
connected PC's running NCSA's TELNET.  I thought we had found when the 
new packet drivers came out including one for the IBM TOKEN RING ADAPTER.
The driver sure sounds like it should fit the bill, the only problem is
it requires PC LAN support programs:

		DXMAOMOD.SYS
		DXMCOMOD.SYS
		DXMTOMOD.SYS

I don't know where these programs are located but they do not come with
IBM PC LAN version 1.1 which we have.  Unless someone knows of where these
programs can be gotten I am again looking for a solution.

The LAN Support Program can be gotten from IBM.  As a matter of fact,
it is called IBM LAN Support Program and it replaces the following
three programs:
         - TOKREUI.COM
         - TOKR3270.COM
         - NETBEUI.COM

Jeff Cortez asks about the IBM PC LAN Support Program...

It is sold as a separate product by IBM for about 50 bucks/PC
(with quantity discounts if you know the right IBM'er).

Note that the file names are of the form

    DXM_0MOD.SYS (zero, not oh).

If I have it straight, DXMA... is the actual hardware driver,
DXMC... is the DOS interrupt arbitrator, and DXMT... is NetBios.

Or something like that.  I put them in, they work, I'm happy and have
long periods of uninterrupted sleep.:-)

The DXM????.SYS files are IBM's "LAN Support Program" for their Token
Ring adapters.  You can buy them from IBM, they replace the TOKREUI.EXE
that IBM used to sell.  If you're lucky, the Packet Driver will also
work with TOKREUI (I know our 802.5 driver does).
