Doesn't surprise me a bit. Compaq has always been very good about
supporting
OS/2 on their machines, especially the servers. My desktop system at
work
is a Compaq Deskpro 4000 running Warp 4. The only thing I had to do to
get it
installed and running was to download the drivers for the video card
(an S3
Virge, ick!) and the built-in Ethernet. I've heard they won't support
OS/2 on
the Presario systems, their "consumer" line of systems, but other than
that,
their support is very good, usually much better than IBM's support.
