Try the OS/2 2.1 BETA PDK CDROM 11/92 ($15 from IBM @ 1-800-342-6672).

It supports most Windows 3.1 Enhanced Mode applications, provides TCP
utilities and runtime, and PMX (presentation manager X windows).  The
CDROM also includes the full 14 volume OS/2 2.0 Technical Reference
Library (a $299 value), the C Developers WorkSet/2 (32 bit compilers,
libraries, debugger, etc), and many many other products.  

Just try it!  If you like the BETA product then buy the real thing when 
the GA (general release version) comes out in March 1993.  You get X11,
TCP/IP, and Windows 3.1 enhanced mode application compatibility all in
one really nice package.  In other words -- a better Windows than Win31.
