RE: OS2, TCP/IP and device naming

["Weatherly, Howard" <hweatherly@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

OS/2 Connect and OS/2 Warp 4 and Warp Server come with a TCP
stack so you can FTP / TELNET etc... You could also install
Client access on OS/2 which could be better. I have not had
much luck using thier browser or in fact Netscape for
internet access on our lan however, seems that it insits on
dialing somewhere? Havent had the time to dig to much into
that problem though!

OS/2 has the ability to define printers attached to the PC
ports, also if you have Com manager you could install that
and define printer devices connected to the 400, and finally
OS/2 had the ability to use long names long before Win95 saw
the light of day, this of course involves using a file
system that only OS/2 can understand :)

We have an office that is, for now, stuck with using OS2.
Does anyone know 
if OS2 has the ability to connect to the 400 via TCP and if
so does it have 
the printing and devices naming capabilities that Windows 95
has.

Thanks for any help in advance,
