We're looking for an OS/2 TCP/IP implementation and NFS client with 
authentication.

Please don't mention the IBM version 1.1 TCP services; these allow people to
EASILY spoof any UID on the network!  That is, you set your UID and GID
through environment variables rather than provide any authentication!  When
I saw this I nearly freaked out.....

Needless to say, this is rather insane!  So much for the security we have 
managed to build over the past several months.

Does anyone have a TCP/IP suite for OS/2?  If so, please forward the info.
Ads and pay-ware are just fine....

Email or post please!
