This may be somewhat OT, but I just happened upon this on the
IBM/Lenovo site:
    "ThinkVantage? Access Connections"
>http://www.pc.ibm.com/us/think/thinkvantagetech/accessconnections.html

"Avoid support costs by allowing users to seamlessly switch between
wired and wireless environments, managing security settings, printers,
home page and other location-specific settings automatically."

It also says:
"Access Connections works with Microsoft Windows XP and 2000 and is
conveniently installed on all new ThinkPad(r) notebooks."

Anyone seen or tried this?  To those of you who understand such
technical details:  Any chance of taking advantage of some of this to
port something similar for OS/2?  It would surely respond to a number
of the questions that have appeared here.
