I don't think it could handle OS/2 Warp Server now.  Would it make
sense to install 4.5.1 now and later replace it with Warp Server?  I
understand that Warp Server is not an upgrade from Warp 4.0 - its
working part is Warp version 3.0.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

If you only want to use it as a file and print server (eg. don't run
anything other locally), you'll be fine with 48MB. We used to have model
95 servers with 32MB RAM, running Warp Server 4 Advanced, serving up to
1000 clients.

Jeroen: you're saying I could go straight to Warp Server.  But aren't
the operational features inferior to Warp 4?  (I know, install
whichever damned one I want to).

I'm reading up on Warp 4 - I have the redbook.  The book says you can
install part of Warp Server using Warp 4.  Does this make any sense?

I'll be installing Warp 4 in another 9595, a 0MF (50DX, 64MB), so these
installations will keep me busy.

Well, it all depends what you want to do with it. If you want to use it as a file and print server, then Warp4 has no advantages over Warp3.
If, however, you want to use it as a workstation, then you might rather choose Warp4 and leave Warp Server off.
