Sorry if this is redundant, but I just subscribed a couple of days ago.
We're running an IBM Token Ring network, around 50 stations of mixed
DOS and OS/2 character.  IBM Token adapter card, 16 MBit/sec.  OS/2
1.2 EE (IBM Operating System Two Extended Edition, as the manuals are fond
of saying).  OS/2 for most machines, DOS and PC Lan support/Dos requester
for the others.          

Here's what we need to do:  connect to a dedicated T1 backbone through a Cisco
box to the wide wonderful world of the Internet.  I think some sort of
translation is appropriate, as opposed to encapsulation or tunnelling; 
my partner in crime is the real hardware expert.  So far, all I've been able
to dig up is NCSA; if you have any other suggestions for software and/or
hardware that could give us FTP and Telnet capabilities, I would apprecieate
your assistance.

If anyone is interested in sharing info, and so forth, (i.e., gossiping),
please don't hesitate to call me.  We've done pretty well so far, so if any
of you are just getting into OS/2, I'd be happy to share notes, etc.
