OS/2 Warp Connect TCP/IP Enhances Internet, LAN/WAN Links

                      Fact Sheet

May 19, 1995 -- OS/2 Warp Connect, the newest addition to IBM's PC
operating system family, will ship with a TCP/IP application kit that lets
users simultaneously connect to local/wide area networks and to the
Internet with features that enhance web browsing, mail and file transfer.
The improved features come as part of TCP/IP for OS/2 Version 3.

Warp Connect users can load the TCP/IP feature by selecting the Internet
Connection or TCP/IP option when they install OS/2 Warp Connect. The
feature allows users to configure their Internet capabilities with
utilities such as an IP address, name server, and router address, among
others, during installation or later.

Once installed, the TCP/IP feature enables users to log on to any Internet
provider and to use most popular Internet functions, such as e-mail, file
transfer and web browsing. It provides File Transfer Protocol, which
enables users to access FTP sites on the Internet and to transfer files
from Internet servers to their PCs. This service also allows users to
communicate with any other TCP/IP machine on the network, either via
Telnet or through transfers between machines on the net.

A key component of the TCP/IP application kit is the Gopher client, which
displays the contents of the Internet's Gopher server as an index of
resources such as documents, bitmaps and executable files and provides
users with lists of services and documents available on the Internet. The
Internet Gopher server allows users to browse for Internet resources using
menus.

Another key component of the TCP/IP kit is the IBM Web Explorer - a
graphical, point-and-click hypertext browser to resources on the Internet.
Hypertext makes the web appear like a single document, and users can click
on different areas of the document to take them directly to other servers
on the web.

The kit's Ultimail Lite client provides peer mail capability, acts as a
mail client to an Ultimail Lite post office and supports multimedia mail.
Ultimail Lite is IBM's new standards-based OS/2 multimedia electronic mail
product for TCP/IP networks including the Internet. The NewsReader/2
service offers a list of Internet forums where users can read, store,
browse, save, respond and print information.

The TCP/IP application which ships as an integrated part of OS/2 Warp
Connect is only one of the many advanced connectivity features offered
with Warp Connect, the operating system for any customer who works in an
environment where communication is important.

OS/2 Warp Connect with Win-OS/2 will be available in base and upgrade
versions in the United States and Canada through IBM dealers, superstores
and a variety of general retail outlets by the end of May. A version for
DOS and Windows users will be available by summer.
