Hi Steven,

I wasn't able to make it today, though my 1.2 install issues persist, to greater or lesser
(?) degree. Sounds like you have plenty to cover there today anyway.

I never heard anything back from you, after the later Zip uploads I sent your way . . .
perhaps because -- in the PEER-less install that worked -- there was nothing revealing to
be found ?

Here is a further update. I attempted to install PEER after the fact, winging it without
guidance. I'm nearly certain that this bombed out. I saw "Media: Copper No Link" in
the subsequent boots. There was also some kind of a loop I got stuck in, to wit

E:\MPTN\Bin\VDOSCTL.EXE
E:\OS2\CMD.EXE
ioctl (SIOCAIFADDR): File Exists
Press Enter to Continue

Startup.Cmd kept saying it was creating objects, but seemed to want to repeat the PEER
install, or Phase 2 of it.

(Sorry if I'm not describing this particularly well.)

I determined that there was some .CMD file that had been created (by the PEER install
attempt), which was responsible for most if not all of this loop behavior. I
pseudo-deleted this file by renaming it to something else, and this allowed 1.2 to boot
effectively, as it had before my attempted retrofit of PEER. Probably zapped that CMD-file
line out of Config.Sys, but I haven't been back in that partition for at least a week at
this point. I *think* I installed Moz 1.7.5 there, and that I was able to connect to
search engines, though I couldn't tell you which Nic is doing this (_has_ to be the
non-gigabit one, right ?), and will have to go back soon to confirm all this.

Can we fix all this ? Via email exchange ? If so, that 1.2 has a shot at full
functionality. Well, maybe not with networkability, but at least for internet . . .
