There was an eCS demo, but I'm not sure if it is still available or where
it would be available from.
There is no WSeB demo. At one time, copies of WSeB were available
relatively inexpensively from IBM's Developer's Toolbox. This is no long
the case.
In terms how they differ from your current Warp4, eCS is Warp4 MCP (Merlin
Convenience Pak) with a redesigned Desktop and a number of bundled
add-ins. The basic functionality is that of Warp4. Because it's based on
MCP, it include never versions of the various Warp componenet than what
you can get for Warp4. Most of the add-ins are available from Hobbes and
elsewhere.
WSeB is Warp4 builded with all the typical server-class components. You
can get a feel for what the WSeB service provide from the Peer services
you have with Warp4. The biggest difference in how it works is that the
WSeB is a domain controller, so the resources are centrally managed.
