Last week, IBM announced a very complete TCP/IP implementation for
OS/2.  It includes all the standard stuff: Telnet, Tn3270, FTP, TFTP,
SMTP client and server, etc.  Also, DNS support, Kerberos client and
server support, Telnet server, ftp server, routed, talk client and
server, rsh/rexecd, full client/server RPC/XDR and Apollo NCS
libraries (IBM not to play favorites...), etc.  Very complete
offering.  Available some time in March.  Requires 1.2EE.  A bit more
than $1000 for all of this stuff.  There is also a lower-priced
configuration that doesn't include the RPC libraries, etc.

The announcement also stated that it was IBM's intention to deliver
full NFS support for OS/2EE.  "Intention to deliver" is IBM code for
"within the next two years" -- but doesn't necessarily mean it will
take two years.

These opinions are mine, and mine only.
