Hi Dan,

 DE> So I need the following (If they are in the 
 DE> Warp 4 distribution, just say so and tell how to 
 DE> install/configure them please):

 DE> Telnet Daemon/Server
    Yes, TELNETD is provided with Warp, however be aware that Warp is NOT
natively a multi-user OS, so you need to be VERY careful how you set things
up, otherwise you may end up with an open system to whoever connects to your
machine. There are also some "add on" TELNETD's available, however they all
warn on the potential dangers of setting them up incorrectly and ending up
with NO security!!!

 DE> FTP Daemon/Server (Both need user access)
    Yes, FTPD is provided with Warp that provideds for Secure Users/Anonymous
logins and control over Drive/Directories used. There are also several 3rd
party FTP Servers available that improve on the capabilities of the included
Server. 

 DE> Domain Name Server
    No, a DNS Server is not provided with standard Warp (it is with Warp
Server), however there is an OS/2 port of BIND available that I have used with 
Warp.

 DE> News Spooler
    There is a News Client provided with Warp, and several alternative Clients 
available (which most people prefer to use), but no NNTP Server provided.
Fortunately there are 3rd party NNTP Servers available (such as CHANGI) if you 
need them. 

Missing from your list but not included and available if you need them -
  1. Pop Server. OS2Pops available from the IBM EWS archives.
  2. Web Server. Apache/2, an excellent Web Server, plus others.

In all cases for the items provided with Warp, you will need to read the
supplied Doc's, in some cases you will need to read them WELL, and then ask
for help.......;-). The 3rd party offerings vary from very little included
documentation that expects you to be an expert, to extremely good.

I hope that gets you started...........pk.
