Re: OS/2 support on laptops:
First thing you have to do is make sure that card/socket services or whatever
is required to get PCMCIA cards recognized. You will also need the NDIS
driver for whatever NIC you want to use. I use a 3com 3c589 in my thinkpad 770 and
it works fine. You really need to get Warp Connect. You can still make disks
off the CD if you have to. I have had to do that and noted no problems. Setting
up LAN access is not too bad as long as you do it right the first time.
Basically all you need is IBM peer. The main bug is that if the LAN settings are
incorrect, you get a message about netwrksta.400 or something like that won't
load so you have you edit the ibmlan.ini file. The os2.setup newsgroup people
can help you out if you have problems.
