New File sharing
THEORETICALLY there's a way for Virtual PC to be able to connect to the rest of the network (including the OS/2 machine itself) using its network tools... but I can't figure out how to do it. Maybe I need to buy the addons for that.

That's really the only way VPC would be viable, if I could open up files via some kind of "shared" folder that links to actual files on my OS/2 machine. I'd hate for my VPC session to be corrupted and have all my Help Desk stuff trapped in one big corrupted, useless file...

New I hear the performance is not so good
... on the file sharing doohicky. Try setting up peer networking instead. I think it also depends a lot on which version you have... 5 was a lot better than 4, and if you have 4, you can contact innotek for a free upgrade to 5.
