Provided the machine is not so old to have something like PCI, you can
meanwhile use many modern ETH cards with OS/2. For 2.0 and 2.1, you need
the separate TCP/IP product (including LAPS), and the normal ETH drivers
for Warp Connect, Warp 4 and eComstation will usually still work. The
mentioned "demo" version of Warp 4 can help to obtain the missing stuff.
In the past when I worked on XFree86/OS2, I had more than once mixed
drivers between different OS/2 versions - it was extremely compatible.

I don't doubt it, though I've never even seen V4, and mainly used V2 & V2.1.
The thing everyone should remember is that when Warp 3 came out network
cards in PC's still weren't that common. They weren't uncommon, but
definitely not standard like they've become. At 10:36 AM -0400 9/17/08, madodel wrote:
Warp 4 is a bit better in that regard.
Peace... Sridhar There are usually a copy or 2 on eBay relatively
cheap. But OS/2 Warp
had only dialup TCP support. For full TCP/IP stack you need Warp
Connect or Warp 4.
I know Warp Connect only supports a *very* limited number of
NIC's.
Finding one that is supported was my biggest challenge, and I was
pulling from a large pool of NIC's.
