OS/2 Warp v3 comes preloaded on most of the higher end ThinkPad's. If you want Warp Connect you will have to buy it and install it on your own (unless your ThinkPad vendor will preload it for you). There is not an upgrade price for Warp Connect. The line I heard is that "...the price is already pretty low so we can't afford to give any further breaks". Also keep in mind that Warp Connect only comes on CD-ROM. I have been trying Warp v3 with my 2 month old 755cx and am slowly coming to appreciate its power. Rather quirkly and w/ a nasty learning curve, it is certainly a legitimate alternative to Win 3.1 and that other, more recent, release from Redmond. If there were more GOOD native applications I would betempted to dump my MS Office and run OS/2 almost exclusively. Not a computer person by training so can't answer your TCP/IP questions. Great source for Thinkpad Info, beside this list, is CompuServe's ThinkPad forum. I couldn't live without it and it is my only real reason for staying w/ CIS.
