  In this talk we describe the order-$\as$ corrections to the total cross
section and to jet rates in $\gamma^* \gamma^* \to$ hadrons for the process
$\epem\to\epem +$ hadrons. We use a next-to-leading order general-purpose
partonic Monte Carlo event generator that allows the computation of a rate
differential in the produced leptons and hadrons. We compare our results with
the experimental data for $\epem\to\epem +$ hadrons at LEP2.
