And we (Novell) have been shipping our OS/2 TCP/IP products for some
time now also. To be precise, the developers toolkit shipped in
December '89 (TCP transport, 4.3 BSD socket library, RFC 1002 NetBios,
example progs and documentation etc....) and the end user package (with
Telnet, FTP, Berkeley R-Utilities etc...) first left our warehouses on
April 28th of this year. The packages run on OS/2 1.1 or 1.2, standard
or extended editions. The 4 month window gave our developers a
comfortable margin in which to start to get their products ready before
the end user binaries started pumping through our distribution channels
(some 10,000 resellers for this particular product).

Hope this has cleared up any confusion re the availability of our
contribution to the "TCP/IP for OS/2 product list". I'm pleased to see
so many products already on it....
