- It should be, unless it is ISA based :-(; considering the number

- Lan Manager runs only under OS/2 1.3, but you can adopt IBM Lan Server 3.0
- which is Lan Manager compatible (i.e.: LM requester can ask services to
- LS ; conversely LS requesters can ask services to LM servers, and you can
- mix both environments on the same LAN): so you don't need LM at all.
