i love os/2's WPS! if i could find a os/2 type
shell for linux, i'd switch in
a minute. if you want networking, go get warp connect. i've been told that
it's been tweaked a little after warp 3.0 came out. i have it running on a
PS/2 server 95 with 48meg with scsi and i get full multimedia and can connect
to my isp and my other machines. if DSL ever gets around here, i will use it
to host my site.

If you like Warp Connect -- you should see Warp4.
Actually, there is a way to get Warp doing ethernet running from the
Warp3 kit plus some fixpacks for network software to get the ndis hooks
and missing pieces -- since the IP stack is already there -- but the
MPTN and LAN stuff isn't.
I think the info is up on hobbes. I bought Warp4 and stuff... but I
don't think I'm tossing IBM any more money for the final client packages
if they're not going to continue to support it past Dec.
I would've bought Warp 5 with the new IP stack and the Logical Volume
Manager if they would have made it available in a client edition at a
reasonable price.
Hard to believe they couldn't make money off it like MS's Win98 Second
Edition. The code's already done for Warp Server. They probably just
don't want to allocate the resources for packaging it.
