  If it didn't work for you, then you most likely had altered something,
  forgotten to set PATH and ETC in your AUTOEXEC.BAT, or forgotten to
  configure or start the OS/2 side of TCP/IP.
  This *definitely* works, because I've watched developers testing WINSOCK
  applications on OS/2 boxes where TCP/IP for OS/2 (from OS/2 Warp
  Connect) had been installed.
  I had to remind them to set ETC in their AUTOEXEC.BAT as well ... (-:

  No it is not.  Trumpet WINSOCK does not forward the TCP/IP requests to
  the OS/2 TCP/IP drivers, and so interferes with the operation of the
  OS/2 TCP/IP drivers.

  If you discount the widely published security holes.  (-:
  There's also the Secure Web Explorer from IBM.  There are part numbers
  and prices all over the place for it.  I'm surprised that you had
  difficulty getting hold of it.
