capabilities needed in a corporate environment as OS/2 Warp Server."

"IBM has done it!  The automatic installation in OS/2 Warp Server makes it
easy for a LAN administrator to start the installation, walk away to do other
things, and come back with everything installed. Everything is integrated onto
one CD so I don't have to install things in multiple iterations. OS/2 Warp
Server also has the best GUI tools for a network administrator."

desktop."

integrated into one package. Now, instead of putting different packages
together ourselves and hoping that they'll run well, OS/2 Warp Server has
already done that for us and tested it to make sure that everything works.
Remote Access will provide a real cost-effective way for us to manage
customers' systems from our location, without charging for traveling
expenses."

3.1-- real problematic with TCP/IP."

Charles Shrader, Sales and Service

"We don't have the time to install each package separately ourselves. With

our location."

"Compaq is pleased to participate in IBM's OS/2 Warp Server launch event and
to announce its support of IBM's OS/2 Warp Server in a future release of
Compaq SmartStart, our software installation and integration product. IBM and
Compaq have a long history of working together to ensure that OS/2 is highly
optimized on our platforms and that we provide our mutual customers with a
well integrated, high-performance application server environment."

Jeff Errasmouspe, Director of Systems Software Marketing

"I can't believe what comes with OS/2 Warp Server!  It's great and everything
works perfectly. NT has a few things in it but OS/2 Warp Server took the best
of what's available for a network administrator and put it all together in one
package. Plus, it's easier to install everything in one package instead of
separately."

"The network management was also fantastic. The fact that OS/2 Warp Server
also includes a process to manage CID installation was great. Now, CID is not
hard to set up anymore because processes exist to help guide you --
automatically. SystemView is also better because IBM has added so much to it.
Not only can you do text interface to log on but now I also can take control
of the other desktops from mine, which allows me to maintain better control of
my entire LAN!"

JJ Quinlivan, Software Engineer
 Hewlett Packard
 Cincinnati, Ohio
