Warp Connect includes network connectivity for accessing a LAN, however
the version of Warp you have did include the Internet Access Kit, which
would allow you to access the Internet over a modem.
At the time it was released, I don't think PPP was included, so you have
needed to use SLIP to make a connection, but you could download PPP once
on the Internet.
Unless you have your own LAN, you don't really need Warp Connect, although
if you did want the 'Connect' components you could proabably download them
from IBM anyway.
