OS/2 TCP/IP provides both Sun RPC and NCS RPC.  The NCS RPC (originally from
Apollo) was the RPC technology chosen as the basis for DCE RPC, so if you're
looking forward towards DCE then NCS is the one to look at.  While the
programming interfaces to DCE RPC are a teeny bit different than the NCS RPC
interfaces, the differences appear fairly small.  In fact, the DCE documentation
says that an NCS RPC client can interoperate with a DCE RPC server, and vice
versa.

So for the original poster who's interested in DCE, starting today with NCS RPC
is the right move.
