Warp 3.0 provided all of that. You didn't need Warp Connect.

Version 3 or 4 will run. The amount of HD space depends on what features you
install. I think the minimum with networking for Warp 4 is around 100 mb.
Without a CD to install from, you will need another machine with a CD that can
be set up to network or you can use a null-modem cable, but it takes a few
hours to install that way.
I would go with version 4, because I think there are more utilities for it,
and the interface is nicer to me.
