The best package to go for is the Blue Spine Warp Connect package as it has
the most up to date Internet & TCPIP programs. Get the CD version not the
floppy version. If you're unsure about doing things then use the IBM
Just Add OS/2 Warp package:

This will take the conversion at a good pace. You won't need Turnpike as
Warp Connect duplicates all of these functions - the last issue of Demon
Despatches contained an article on setting up for OS/2.

It's a different way of life - and it may pay to wait 3-4 months for the
next generation of Warp to be released, that's if you can wait. It betas
in about a month and promises to be much better than the opposition, and
an improvement on Warp.

Good luck - and let us all know how it goes.

Robert.
