If you can get to your 4.0 servers, then you can get to your 3.1x servers.  
The only difference is you may run into a problem with Directory Services on 
the 3.x side, as 3.x does not support them.  When connecting to 3.x one 
usually has to insert a "Directory Services Off" parameter in net.cfg to stop 
the requester from waiting for a domain directory search.  However, I have 
been told that the new 2.11 Netware Requester for OS/2 does not have this 
problem, and should handle both easily.

As to Unix, you need to secure the TCP/IP for OS/2 v2.0 package, and the 
associated CSD (XR604???) for it.  You have to install it is this order, in 
order for them to work together.  a) the base IP package, b) the CSD, and c) 
the IAK.  There is a new version (3.0) of the IP package in the Warp Connect, 
but I don't know what it contains over the 2.0/CSD system.
