Sorta. What I should have said is that you can run the 32-bit MPTS stack
with either the 32-bit or the 16-bit TCP/IP apps.

Yes. That's what a lot of folks do. For example:

F:\MPTN\SYSLEVEL.MPT
IBM OS/2 TCP/IP Stack
Version 5.50 Component ID 5639B1700
Current CSD level: WR08621
Prior CSD level: WR08610

F:\tcpip\BIN\SYSLEVEL.TCP
IBM TCP/IP for Warp
Version 4.00 Component ID 5639A6600
Current CSD level: UN00000
Prior CSD level: UN00000

This is a bit misleading since I really have UN_0980 installed, but
fservice forgot to update the syslevel file. I never bothered to figure
out why.

Probably. I have no control over problems. :-) You can't go to far wrong
updating both MPTS and TCP/IP to highest FP level that's available to you.

It's much simpler to use dskxtrct and decompress the .dsk files to a hard
drive and install from there.

Then, I'll read the "readme" and/or *.inf files that

Oliver's page is pretty good a describing which FPs to apply. Someone
else posted a really nice roadmap showing how the various MPTS and TCP/IP
flavors can go together, but I can find the link at the moment.
