The NTS stack won't work under OS/2 because it is a VxD.  VxD's are
considered too dangerous for "proper" OS like OS/2 and NT, but M$ allow
it under Win3.x and W95.

If it is true that the IBM "fixed" their stack with Warp 4, then
Turnpike should work with OS/2 dialup software, but I can't quote exact
release numbers of the IBM TCP/IP stack in that respect.
