Phil Karn's code is the only PCIP I have found that runs in the
DOS compatibility box, The FTP SW INC and CMU drivers are rejected
by the OS/2 operating system at boot.

Of course your friends don't want to run TCP from the box so they
need Lan Man (lan manager).  There is "mature beta" code floating 
around, but presently I don't know of a company that is selling
it outside of the MS SDK @ $3000.00.  3com thinks they will be the
first company to sell the consumer ready product.

Sorry, I don't have any NFS info.  We buy fairly much SUN stuff,
but don't qualify for the juicy rumor service with our salesperson.

OS/2 without networking and SW applications is rather like UNIX
system 5 rel. 2, a lot of potential, if only there was something
it would actually DO.

	Have fun,
