3+Open is a LAN Manger product for DOS. I know there are others, but that's the only one I can think of, offhand.

LM/X is a UNIX-hosted version of Lan Manager, and supports DOS clients. Richard #undef FLASH-COMMENT-AT-END-OF-MAIL

I've only used the generic (OEM?!?!) version of LANMAN, but I would assume that all vendors' versions of LANMAN support DOS workstations.

Also, there is IBM's LAN Server product, which also supports DOS workstations (although you need IBM's EE version of OS/2 on the server machine to run it). The degree of compatibility between both products is another matter. I have not (yet) seen the original posting, but if you are looking for an OS/2-based network OS which supports DOS workstations, any of these products will do it. -Charles +--------------------------------------------------------------------+ Charles I.

They support OS/2 and DOS workstations. Mac workstation support will be out soon. Their implementation is wrapped around a Unix file server. Not a bad setup!
