I know of no PPP software ported to OS/2. I asked Morningstar, a P-to-P
developer for many unix machines, about their intentions for porting to 
OS/2 or NT. The said they had no plans to support OS/2 because of lack of
interest. They also said that they are considering to port to NT. I 
think that if enough people bugged them they might consider the port to 
OS/2. Their email address is marketing@morningstar.com or Voice (614) 451-1883.
Their Unix ports are of excellent quality and their support is also excellent.
I couldn't think of anybody else better to make this product.

 Now on the other hand an IBM employee has stated that they understand the 
need for PPP under OS/2, but he couldn't say any more. Reading into this I
would say that IBM is working on PPP but I wish a time frame would be given
because I would like to plan this into out network strategy. PPP for OS/2
would take many people from DOS on their home machines and move them to OS/2.

Oh Well, I can only kermit into work. One session, one download....Sigh!

                                         Waiting for PPP,
