We kept them around as backup for our BusTech MAN.  The OS/2 NICs
actually were a touch faster than the MAN was (as crudely measured by
ftp rates).  But the OS/2 stack required an odd MTU which aggravated the
network staff, and I was always wary about putting *any* load on that
OS/2 image.  It wasn't exactly robust; the 7060 was essentially a big
P390.
