Well, since OS/2 will support DPMI, you would probably do IPC between
DOS boxes and an OS/2 program via INT 2F calls.  That's how I do it
under windows, and OS/2 will support the same method.  Now, if you're
asking "will there be an IPC toolkit?", that I can't answer (I'd be
surprised if there was).
