Have actually seen the drivers provided on the online DDPK.  It's
extremely lacking and no Video Conference support what so ever.  I am
*hoping* that a Warp 5 Server release might actually provide some
improved USB support. I'd just like to use OS/2 for all my needs 
instead of boot Win98 just to use Video conferencing.

Really?  Did you they don't include all fixes such MPTS and TCP/IP?

Please don't try to preach to me,  I've been using OS/2 for well onto
7 years, and I've stuck by it.  I support OS/2 developers, by actually buying 
their products.  Yes, I would like some added new features,
heck, not even that just improvements to the current multimedia offerings
in Warp.  And don't worry I know all about windows, I'm a developer and
my main development is in windows (it's what my employers use), and
rebooting is a way of life.

If you mean it, I'd say thanks.
