I'll answer, despite the last bit... Warp Connect has full
Peer-to-Peer facilities (Peer server, Lan requester, plus full
protocol and transport facilities). It will network quite well with
other Warp Connect (and later OS/2) installations, windows for
Workgruops, Win9x, and NT Workstation in Peer nets. It is also capable
of full participation on most (there are some odd-balls) LANS - be they
OS/2, NT, or *Nix and/or internet. AFAIAA, Lantastic fits into the
'odd-ball' category.
