I have an IBM PS/2 with a token ring adapter/A in it which I use to connect to Unix (amongst other things). I currently use NCSA Telnet with the Clarkson drivers under DOS. I would like to do this under OS/2 but I understand that the drivers depend on the IBM drivers which are different under OS/2. Are there different versions which will solve my problem? Also, it would be nice if I could get Communications Manager to provide the terminal services while I am also talking to our IBM mainframes on the same card. Any drivers out there that will do the protocol switch? Barry

There is a product from IBM called TCP/IP for OS/2 that provides Telnet services across a Token Ring to other systems on the TR.

You don't need to "switch" protocols. TCP/IP and the Communications manager, which would use an LU 2 session to your host, will share the same physical ring.
