I disagree with this because IBM said that they were stopping fixes for Warp 4 and Warp3 yet they just realeased fix packages for both. THe youngest of which is more than 5 years old. So the conveniance pack has a huge amount of support behind it. IBM has committed itself to Os/2 until at least the year 2006 and if they continue like there have been you can look forward to things after that.
Also the os/2 setup he currently uses if I read it correctly was already a central managed and booted system which in order to upgrade I would imagine to be a simple task.
If I were you I would seriously consider contactig Serenity Systems for information about staying with Os/2 in its newest form eComStation. They have done a lot of work to it and added many features speccifically to help in simplifying the administration and upgrade of RIPL booted os/2 machines.

I am sure that they would be able to help you stay with Os/2 and solve the problems your currently having with it.
The amount of work they've managed to do is really amazing and I think it would be worth your while.

Synopsis: Even talking about OS/2 is a waste of time.
yet you feel the need to do it anyway. Hmmm... interesting.
