I think there might be some confusion about networking with versions of
OS/2 later than 2.11.
Warp 3 shipped a couple of months before Warp Connect. They are for
practical purposes the same product. If you've got the OS and bonus pack
on disk, then it is more than likely you already have TCP/IP and peer
networking etcetera. If you have any questions (like how to install a nic
driver if it didn't automatically detect yours, ask and I've got your
back.
I've got a couple of spare Connect Licenses and Cd's. I see it on E-bay
for single-digit dollars as well.
You can buy the very latest version from BMT Micro online. It is called
EcomStation and is basicly OS/2 Warp Server For E-Business without some of
the server functions such as security, but the only limit to the number of
connections a warp client will support short of it's bandwidth and
processor speed. There is a setting in the network performance tuning
dialog in which you can set the number of connections you can support.
EcomStation costs $238.00 for the full version sans SMP. SMP will cost
you another $99.00. At the moment, the Preview version of EcomStation is
what is being shipped. When it is finished you will receive another set
of cd's free of charge. It is kinda strange to call it a Preview because
IBM already finished the product. What Serenity Systems is doing is
bundleing apps and such.
You can go to the Serenity Systems website and check it out.
