Will forward the doc I have on how to do it next mail. > I'm not sure about the TP755CD CDROM, but even installing from the CD, one first boots OS/2 from two diskettes. By first copying these diskettes, then making the changes to them to use the drivers that come with the CD (the OS/2 installation diskettes don't seem to support _that_ many CDROM drives), you can then install OS/2 from the CDROM easily. >The TCP/IP OS-2 stuff is provided on disk, and does work correctly.

I believe MPTN may be available separately. Warp Connect comes with TCP/IP Ver 3, which seems to be primarily Ver 2 with all the CSD's applied plus MPTN replacing LAPS. I thought I recently saw an IBM announcement that TCP/IP Ver 3 was available separately - originally it was only available as part of Warp Connect. Hope this helps. Brooks
