Laptops were never well supported for OS/2 even the IBM thinkpads, if you
can get a 3com nic they still have OS2 drivers on their downloads. PCMCIA
was a fledgeling technology when warp 3.0 was out, if you really wanna play
with it, try it on a desktop with an old 3com nic and it will work great,
laptop..hmm not sure it would work easily even if you found the right
driver,.... unless of course it was a thinkpad with a 3com pcmcia card.
If you really get bored, got to IBM's knowledge base in the thinkpad section
and search for OS2, it's amazing that a company that makes both products
makes them work so bad together.
Hope this helps, and if nothing else, you have fun, that is why we do all
this crazy stuff :)

Thanks Bill! I had the first link and spent a long time deciphering it but
the second one looks like a more useful offering. Now the problem may be
adapter drivers. I have a 16 bit 'Sohoware' pcmcia card. Didn't come with
drivers and if it did I am sure no OS/2 drivers. I may try the other drivers listed to see if one works.
Gotta say that os/2 is pretty good so far. Faster than Win95 I believe and
except for some differing commands it kinda feels like home er.. I mean
Windows.
Thanks again.
