"Is there a package that provides good TCP/IP support under OS/2?"

Our basic requirement is for an OSI Transport level interface (preferably
BSD style Sockets) that works when linked to a OS/2 protected mode
application.

The software we are developing uses a client/server model where the
OS/2 applications will run as a client or a server.  Servers will also run
on mainframes under UNIX, VMS, etc.

Can anyone share their expertise in this area?
