I have an old 486DX2-66 which is happily running OS/2 warp 3.0 with fixpak 40. It
also has the IAK, so tcpip 2.0. I recently
added a new linux box (the old also runs
linux when not OS/2) and a lan based on a linksys router/hub/firewall.

hmm - Linux and OS/2 can be linked together in a LAN-way. However, there is some fiddling needed.
You will either have to install an NFS-client on Warp or Samba on Linux plus NETBIOS over TCP/IP on Warp. This is necessary, because Linux networks in a different way from OS/2 (and Windows). Since the NFS-Client (from IBM) is an optional software package you will have to purchase seperately, the Samba-approach looks much more promising ;-)
The Linux documentation will tell you how to set up and configure a Samba server.
