Warp Connect augments basic OS/2 Warp with IBM and third-party network client technologies such as NetWare Requester 2.11, LAN Server 4.0 Requester, OS/2 Peer to Peer, LAN Distance Remote 1.1, Lotus Notes Express (an entry-level Notes client), and support for TCP/IP, IPX, and NetBIOS/NetBEUI. There's also a comprehensive TCP/IP LAN and SLIP/PPP dial-up client that can replace the Bonus Pack's TCP/IP client. IBM TCP/IP version 3, which can maintain a dial-up Internet connection and a network card connection at the same time, includes FTP and Telnet server software. Curiously missing from Warp Connect is an NFS client for connecting to Unix servers; you have to buy NFS separately.
IBM says it will ship a Warp Con
nect Extend Pack later this year that will add features designed specifically to appeal to larger enterprises, such as Communications Manager/2 desktop-to-mainframe software and IBM's multiprotocol connectivity software, AnyNet/2. IBM also says it's collaborating with Novell to produce a 32-bit NetWare Requester for OS/2.
