But VJ compression (a form of CSLIP) is not supported and PPP isn't supported.

Some programs that use VxD's freak out Warp (read: crash sometimes). Programs in this category mostly include programming environments such as VC++, Borland C++, Symantec C++, Boundschecker. DOOM will run without sound (just as it does under Windows). There is supposed to be an OS/2 PM version of DOOM soon w/ native OS/2 sound, networking, and graphics support. It's supposed to be a tad slower than the DOS version but faster than the WinG version... I personally haven't had to go back to DOS for many things except for DOOM, BoundsChecker, and Novastorm :-) You might want to monitor the comp.os.os2.* newgroups for another perspective... > [Randy Whittle writes: ] > run OS/2?

Actually, I'm a bit curious as to what problems you had specifically, Randy. (Off-line if you think your perspective is inappropriate for this mailing list). ken p.s., I'm not an OS/2 zealot. :-) It's just that it does more of what I want to do than all the other options I've tried (Windows, NT, Solaris) at this time.
