Look in c:\os2\install\database.txt and do a search for laplink.  At least 
thats where the recommended settings were in WARP 3, probably still the same.
Here's what GetSet.CMD shows me I have for my LL5 object:

I use a parallel connection rather than serial, and it works great. LL3 had 
some problems.  LL5 works fine.
