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® 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.
