- To my knowledge, the software included does NOT violate any licence
- agreements or copyright laws. You can check that for yourself since I've
- included the original licences. There's no need for FTP site administrators
- or BBS sysops to delete this archive.
-
- What is this anyway?
- --------------------
-
- With the contents of this archive file, you can use the Internet Access Kit
- included with regular Warp (Red box and Blue box) on your Local Area Network,
- e.g. Ethernet. Normally, you can use the IAK only on a serial dial up line
- with the Slip or PPP protocol.
-
- But there's a catch.
-
- You need one other file which isn't included in this archive: IFNDIS.SYS.
- This file is included in a CSD ("bugfix") of IBM TCP/IP 2.0 The CSD can be
- found on almost every OS/2 FTP site or OS/2 BBS around the globe. But you're
- only allowed to use it if you are a licenced owner of that software. At
- least, that is what my common sense tells me. The licence on IBM's FTP site
- (there was no licence included with the CSD itself) is not very clear.
- Again, this archive file itself is not illegal.
-
- If you are a licenced owner of IBM TCP/IP 2.0, Warp Connect, Lantastic etc.,
- this archive file is probably not very useful to you. After all, you're
- already able to connect to your LAN.
-
- If you are not a licenced owner and you do NOT want to violate any copyright
- laws, then don't use this archive file. You are not violating any laws by
- having this archive file, but it is useless without the CSD. I do respect
- your honesty. If you still want to get on the net, buy Warp Connect (or else
- download Linux for example, it's free).
-
- If you are not a licenced owner and you
- - don't really care that much about copyright laws
- - or if you're willing to take the "risk" of IBM raiding your house
- - or if you are really pissed off at IBM that they charge you that much
- for an upgrade to Warp Connect while you don't need all the bells
- and whistles in Connect
-
- then this stuff is for you. It's strictly your own decision if you want to
- use/download the CSD or not. I do not encourage or discourage you to do so.
