Pleeeeez give us Peer-2-Peer in the new OS/2 ! I mean right-click
on a folder and selecting "Share it NOW!" using either a network-card
or a parallel cable between PC's

It will most probably be one of the biggest reasons someone will tell you:
"I've gone Chicago because it's got easy peer-2-peer for my bussiness...."

(I know you can do peer-2-peer via APPN, TCPiP but it's like sticking a blunt
kneedle in your left eyeball ! - Very annoying ....)

This would be a most welcome addition, it's half there with
Person-to-Person, so adding the full peer-to-peer functionality
shouldn't be that much more.

How true, how true.

I've got a 386 and a 486 staring at each other from opposite ends of an
Ethernet cable. They are both running OS/2 2.11, and Extended Srvices,
each can see the other on the net, but I can't share anything between the
machines. They send packets of data, but I can't share files, disks,
applications, nothing.

I think that I must have done something wrong. Can someone help me here?
