IIRC, OS/2 TCP/IP was ported from the AIX version, which was based on 
the BSD source...  Remember that the 32 Bit TCP/IP stack has the 
Firewall, because the AIX version has it...

I will have to look for references, but I have lots of older OS/2 
Magazines, and Save articles from the Internet....

Been doing OS/2 since Jun-1993, OS/2 2.10..
