I have both Warp v3 red spine (no fixpacks) and Warp Connect v3 
blue spine (no fixpacks) and all I had to do was set 
VIDEO_MODE_RESTRICTION to CGA, DOS=HIGH and DOS=UMB and it worked
fine:
D:\OS2\MDOS>mem
    753664 bytes total memory
    753664 bytes available for DOS
    736384 largest executable program size
   2490368 bytes total EMS memory
   2097152 bytes free EMS memory
   2031616 bytes total XMS memory
   2031616 bytes available XMS memory
         0 bytes available contiguous extended memory
           DOS resident in High Memory Area
           High Memory Area in use
I remember with OS/2 v2.1 I ahd to set DOS_RMSIZE to 639 to make 
it work, but with both these versions of Warp v3 I have it set to
640.
