If by Warp 5 you mean Warp Server for e-Business (ex-Aurora) then I would
think IBM themselves.  I don't know if a reseller would handle it: is
One-Stop still in existence in Bristol.

Beware, the US price is USD1699.

Apparently (although I haven't tried it), if one becomes a (full) Member
of the IBM Developer Connection (which apparently costs USD250 in the US,
no ideas what it costs over this side of the pond), then for absolutely
no additional payments, you can either get WSeB (and lots of other
goodies too, just about everything except DB/2[1]) on a set of CDs, or
download it from IBM's web site.  Apparently it takes about one WEEK with
a 33k6 modem :-)

[1] For this, one needs Advanced Membership of DevCon.
