Cross Brand - CONFIG.SYS statements explained
Applicable to: World-Wide
It is easy to be baffled and intimidated by a complex OS/2 CONFIG.SYS, particularly after you have installed a raft of add-on products. We describe, here, the elements of CONFIG.SYS specific to the following IBM products, taken from a working machine with all of them installed:
o LAPS (LAN Adapter and Protocol Support)
o OS/2 LAN Requester
o OS/2 NetWare Client
o TCP/IP for OS/2
o Communications Manager/2.
Each line has a short description of what that line does, to enable you to make sense of it and perhaps to decide what you do or don't need when making changes to CONFIG.SYS!
A future article will describe a basic OS/2 CONFIG.SYS before the addition of all these add-on products.
