Connectivity
1.Using Warp as an ISP, including a "how to" document that anyone could follow.
Security issues in providing Internet service. Both Warp workstation and Warp server issues.
Example: EgeNet (http://www.egenet.com.tr), a large ISP in Turkey relies heavily on OS/2. The main domain name server runs on Merlin, two of the busy web servers runs on ICS for OS/2 with lots of Rexx scripts, and the proxy server, proxy.egenet.com.tr is also ICS for OS/2..
2.Remote System Management by Arylnn Poczynek (teamcan@ibm.net) - confirmed
Discuss what system management is, and the benefits of perfoming system management. Demonstrate how one performs systems management, including a short discussion of remote, WAN-connection management. Answer questions.
3."OS/2 Warp and the IBM Network Station: Perfect Together" by Timothy Sipples (tsipple@vnet.ibm.com) - confirmed So your PC runs OS/2 Warp, but do you really need a PC (running anything) to access the Internet? Not if you have an IBM Network Station. This session demonstrates how OS/2 Warp and the IBM Network Station work together in even small networks, providing access to Java and Internet applications through OS/2 Warp. The low cost (under $700) Network Station is not just for big businesses. It is also great for schools, libraries, and small businesses, where more than one person needs access to the network. Since the IBM Network Station loads everything across the network, even kids will find it hard to damage the computer. Use OS/2 Warp to write and deliver Java or Lotus Domino programs for the IBM Network Station. Learn also how the IBM Network Station compares with other "thin clients," such as "Bluebird."
4.Networking with OS/2 Kevin Royalty ( os2guy@one.net ) - confirmed
Home and SOHO
5.Connecting your LAN to the Internet Sharif Abdallah ( sharif@ibm.net )

3.Selling OS/2 to the Home and SOHO Market by Tom Nadeau (os2headquarters@mindspring.com) - confirmed
This kind of presentation typically takes an hour because there are both hardware & software issues. Branding/advertising, "hand-holding," assembly/configuration issues, software compatibility issues, etc.
