At the moment I am using Win95 with Turnpike and MS Internet Explorer 2
on a p100 machine with 32MB of RAM and a 28800bps modem.  But for 
various reasons I am considering changing operating systems to os/2 warp
(the blue spine version with internet software included).  Could anybody
tell me if this os is compatable with demon and how easy is it to set
up to send and receive mail and news, as win95 was quite complicated.  
Secondly does anyone know whether this package contains an eqivilent to 
turnpike and netscape, if not would os/2 run these win95 programs 
without trouble?  Lastly would I need to get new drivers for my modem,
printer, cd-rom etc or does os/2 warp cover these as well?
If anyone could give me the answers to these questions I'd be grateful.
