The LAN WorkPlace for OS/2 is no more dead than OS/2 itself... hmmm.

Version 2.0 of LWP for OS/2 is a remnant of our LAN Manager developments
before we started focusing on NetWare and merged with Novell.  The next
release of the product (v3.0) is nearly ready for BETA testing and includes 
a redesigned TCP/IP module.  

The v3.0 release works in conjunction with the NetWare Resquestor for 
OS/2 using a single adapter.  Ethernet, Token-Ring and ARCNET cards with 
ODI for OS/2 drivers can be used.  RFC-NETBIOS is there, so are all of the 
basic service applications and a good BSD 4.3 Socket Library.

Those interested in BETA testing should send a note to me describing your
need for TCP/IP on OS/2 (Toolkit or end-user, for example...) and be sure
to include a mailing address and a FAX number.  

PS - the recently announced LWP for DOS is not available for BETA testing
     as it will be shipping in April.
