OS/2 problem

This message is intended primarily for Ken, but I don't have his E-mail
address.  Also I'm open to thoughts from anyone else about my question.

After circulating a message on this and the contest lists, I recently
installed OS/2 Warp.  I found that CT worked fine under OS/2 as installed
at first.  However after installing some of the apps that came in the
"Bonus Pack" I found that CT became broken, giving an error message before
terminating abruptly.  By cycling through the backup CONFIG files that
OS/2 conveniently (and helpfully!) makes each time something is changed
during an install routine, I found that the problem occurred when I
installed the Internet access program that comes with Warp.  Obviously
something in those drivers is the problem.  I've attached the results of a
file compare (comparing the newest "working" CONFIG.SYS file with the 1st
"broken" one) to show what the differences are between them.  Does anyone
have any thoughts or suggestions short of dumping the TCP/IP drivers? 
(I'm not sure I want to do that yet since I haven't gotten around to
trying their internet access...I'm using a different e-mail only method
right now).  Thanks - Alan NS0B
