Don't just get Warped...get connected! with IBM's OS/2 Warp Connect
So you want to be well-connected. But how? . . . Simple. Get connected
the Warped way, with IBM's new OS/2 Warp Connect, the full-featured,
32-bit operating system with built-in networking and a
BonusPak of popularprograms for word processing, spreadsheets, games
and faxing. And don't forget that one-button access to the Internet --
surfing was never thiseasy. All of this and more comes in one package.
With OS/2 Warp Connect, you can do things that until now you could only
do on the huge corporate networks. Like connecting to more than one
resource at a time -- the Internet and your own office network, for
instance. Ready to maximize the power on your desktop and keep the
Internet connection while you send e-mail to someone on another
network? . . . We thought so. Join the well-connected with IBM's
OS/2 Warp Connect.
Your connection to networking perfection
IBM's OS/2 Warp Connect gives you everything you need to tap
into the riches of the world's networks. Think of it as your unlimited
access pass to the Global Village. And talk about peer and client
functions. You need to make LAN connections from the desktop? No
problem. You need to connect on the road? No problem. Warp Connect is
the cost-effective way to link PCs to LANs in businesses of all sizes
-- no matter where you are -- another step in the right direction
to exploit the IBM Open Blueprint architecture.
Think of it. OS/2 Warp, the award-winning 32-bitoperating system from
IBM plus transports and applications for LAN connections,
peer networking and dial-up LAN access to the Internet and popular
on-line services. And every package ships with the IBM BonusPak of
native OS/2 applications. We're talking a plethora of productivity
here: SoftNet FaxWorks, IBM Person-to-Person, Hilgraeve's HYperAccess
and IBM Works, to name a few.
Connect to the best. Warp Connect lets youconnect and access Internet
servers, IBM OS/2 LAN Server, Microsoft NT Server and Novell
Netware . . . at the same time. You can even customize your installation
with the components you need to be a client toany or all of these servers.
On the road again? Nothing to worry about.Remotely, you can connect to
any kind of LAN, using its resources as if you were locally
connected. Just like you never left. And two remote users can connect
to each other, building a virtual LAN over a telephone line. Suddenly
that business trip doesn't sound so bad after all.
Can you say 'share' boys and girls? Warp Connect's peer feature lets you
set up a peer-to-peer LAN so you can share files,printers and asynchronous
devices with other people onthe LAN. Andyou can function as a peer client
while you access servers on the network.
What about support, you say? Warp Connect supports Netbios,
TCP/IP and IPX communication over Ethernet, Token Ring and FDDI
protocols, which can be extended to telephone lines. All the
transports are in the product, making Warp Connect an excellent
application server platform. You can run DB2/2,
Lotus Notes and Oracle SQL Server, for example, without adding any
communication software . . . Any questions?
A kinder, gentler installation. Warp Connect's integrated install
lets you select the components you want. You can install Warp
Connect from a CD ROM drive to you PC or you can install it remotely
from any PC on the LAN with a CD ROM drive. And by simply answering a
few questions in the installation, you also can choose an automated,
unattended installation. Sounds easy, doesn't it? . . . It is.
IBM's OS/2 Warp Connect will be available in versions with or
without WINOS2 support for Microsoft Windows. It has been certified by the
IBM Integration Test Lab to ensure interoperability among the components,
and documentation is on-line.
