Nope.  I had to overwrite the one that came with trumpet's winsock.  This 
worked out great, but Windows applications no longer can call up for the 
duration that they are running.

Hmmm.  Does that include me?  If he is running a Windows program, i.e. 
Netscape for Windows 3.1, then using Trumpet's Winsock is a GOOD thing.  
However, if he is trying to run WebEx, this is NOT A GOOD thing and he should 
install the complete IAK.

Hmmmm.  Is this for TCP/IP 3.0 that is included with Warp Connect.  The IAK 
does not come with such a directory.  If he is using the IAK it should point 
to \TCPIP\BIN.

True.  Here is another thing to keep in mind for now.  Netscape is the only 
publically available secure browser.  Yes, I tried to get IBM's secure 
browser for OS/2 but for some reason I could not get it.  IBM needs to 
realize that Netscape may or may not be working out back on OS/2 versions of 
their popular programs.
And yes, I've been using Netscape 2.02 on my Thinkpad at work.  It performs 
as expected.
