Yes, Norton Commander for OS/2 from Symantec.  :-)

It is now $49 if you order direct from Symantec.  (You should be able
to call 800-555-1212 to get the telephone number.)

Or you can try Mr. File/PM, File Commando, DirMan, XList, or one of
the other available file managers.  All are available via anonymous
ftp from ftp-os2.nmsu.edu.  Check file /pub/os2/00Index for location.
(Mr. File/PM is right now in /pub/uploads.)

Now that's an interesting one -- somethink like LapLink for OS/2, I
suppose.  I don't know of such a product (yet).  You could use a
conventional communications program (like TE/2, C-Kermit, etc), but I
realize that isn't exactly what you are looking for.

If I have a free bit of time maybe I'll write one.  Something like
that could be done in Visual REXX, even.
