The TCP/IP stack included in OS/2 Warp does support Winsock programs
running under Win-OS/2. Note: The IBM Web Explorer for OS/2 is better
than Netscape, in my opinion. Umm, I believe you need to be able to
get access to the net via SLIP once to get the software update (which
includes PPP support). You can probably use the 10 free hours on
Advantis to do this, now that I think about it.
