Grex Info Item 212: Trouble Connecting with OS/2 Warp Software!
Entered by moo on Wed Feb 22 23:43:02 UTC 1995:

After succumbing to IBM's masive advertising campaign, I bought OS/2 warp for
my PS/1. It came with its own comm program, but I need to enter in various
facts that I do not know about grex

What is an IP address, is it my net address.  What is the Destination IP
address? and what is the Domain Nameserver? What is the Domain name (of Grex).
There is yet more, but I can't access the rest until i complete this data,
so... If anyone knows the answers to these questions, pleeeeeeease respond,
with cherries and sugar on top.  I'll respond with more questions as they come
up.  Remember Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease help me!

I thin ka lot of that is only applicatble if you have tcp/ppp or slip access.
Other than that how is os/2 warp. I was going to buy it myself soon.
I'm getting real tired of waiting for windows 3008

if you are local enough (A2) someone can slip you a copy
of Kermit ... on disk, no less, configured
for grex.
  
The pertinant stuff is   2400 7 data bits
Even parity a nd one stop bit. Thre are no fancy
modem-thigies (no v.32 ...v.42bis) on
any of our modei, so make your modem "dumb."

Um, did your original question get answered, moo?  An IP address is 
an internet protocol address.  Grex's IP address is cyberspace.org.  

Also, I read in Agora that someone connected to Grex via Slip?  How
did they do that?  I though that that was undoable just like PPP.

Okay.  That makes a lot more sense.
